I watched Marco Antonio Regil's Atinale al Precio montages last night, and I found myself really enjoying the program. I got to wondering today what the games played on that version were, as well as what ehy were called. Of course, being a dork, I then proceeded to create as complete a list of exactly that as I could. What you see below lists first the games I know were played, then their Mexican names if I know them, and then the translations of their Mexican names if I was able to translate them.
Please pardon the lack of accent marks.

If anyone knows any more games or name translations, by all means, add them to this thread!
Oh, and I also have a question. On this page (http://www.marcoantonioregil.net/pages/galerias/atinale/atinale2/atinale2-b.html) of Marco's Atinale galleries, there's a picture of a game whose set looks like a bunch of dominoes, and I have no idea what it is. Anyone else know?
-
Looks like the combinations of the dominoes suggest the price of something; as for the game itself, I'm having all kinds of trouble finding it. Heck, I can't find it on Wikipedia.
-
Based on what I could read, Pathfinder is "Los Cazadores del Precio Perdido" or "The Hunters of the Lost Price". As for Cliff Hangers I could only see the final word which was Siniestra, gonna take a guess it's "La Caida Siniestra" or "The Sinister Fall", something like that.
-
I believe the domino game is Flip Flop.
"Cuestion Centavos" doesn't make much sense. I think it could be "Cuestion de Centavos", which would mean "A Question (as in a matter) of Cents".
"De Par en Par" means "In Pairs", or maybe more closely "Two by Two".
"La movida" means both "the movement" and "wheeling and dealing", so it appears to be a pun kind of thing.
"Dame carta" you got exactly right, though, Steve. You might even call it "Hit Me".

That makes a hell of a lot more sense that what my Spanish-to-English dictionary said it meant.

Steve, give me a couple of days, and I can get the rest of the names of the Pricing Games. And it's spanish meaning!

Secret "X" - Gato encerrado
race game - Contra el rejol - beat the clock
that's all i can think of
-
For "gato encerrado", I can't think of an English equivalent, but it means "a cat locked-up". You've heard of letting the cat out of the bag; well, this is what you say when you suspect a cat's in the bag and needs to be let out. In other words, a secret being kept from you.
-
In Mexico...
tic-tac-toe is named "gato"
-
I'm sure that the one with the dominoes would make a good pricing game if I knew what it is.

With all due respect, that's a rather idiotic thing to say. You're making a huge assumption about something you freely admit you know nothing about.

Do they use the chips like the us version of shell game use

So what do they do for a tie?
