No. I wouldn't find them there because I would never ever look under
"games" for a tea cooker or something like the world clock, kandalf or
kaphorism. For me this is just a bad idea.

If you really don't care about nesting and everybody else agrees (which
I wouldn't expect) make an extra entry like "Leisure" or some such and
put submenues like "games" and "toys & trifles" in there.
