run game
Handoffs and carries
Run game refers to deceptive manipulation tactics used to exploit someone, especially in romantic or sexual contexts.
To run game on someone is to deceive them through charm, false promises, or psychological tricks: He was running game on her the whole time.
The phrase implies calculated dishonesty rather than genuine interest.
In football contexts, run game simply means a team's rushing offense—their ability to advance the ball by running rather than passing.
