I don't play mind games in general, and not in work environments extra so. But my new "do less" era and pulling back has meant that I won't initiate mind games but I'm really really great at throwing them back at their originator.
Someone (who has been at the org for 10 years longer than me) pretended not to know a whole big thing in an effort to push a project that should be hers off onto me. I usually would have been like "oh ok sure I'll take it all on bc I'm a dumdum who thinks everyone is as genuine as me and I can do it!!!" But now I'm all "oh wow, if YOU don't know how to do that, I definitely don't either. Best wishes in getting it figured out."
