The New Games Book and its companion, More New Games, were resources developed for the "New Games" movement to encourage people to play non-competitive or friendlier games. Many of the "New Games" may now be seen played, in their modern variants, by church youth groups, summer campers, and even [in some cases] gym students.

The New Games movement was first spearheaded by Pat Farrington. Along with George Leonard and Stewart Brand she organized the first "New Games Tournament" at Gerbode Preserve in October 1973. The Tournament was funded by The Point Foundation.

The success of this tournament led to the creation of the New Games Foundation which published The New Games Book in 1976.
