Well one reference right off that I can think of is to when you consume wild animals from hunting... (ex. deer, rabbits, etc)

Without knowing how to cook them, people often refer to the cooked meat as a little "gamey". Usually referring to a taste that just doesn't seem to "sit well" with them. That was certainly my reaction to my first taste of venison from a friend that admitted he didn't know what he was doing. [X(][:D]

Gamey is using a tactic or technique that is so obviously ahistorical that is not accounted for in the programming of the game, and has a tendency to be more effective than it should be.

If I take the IJN "Death Star" CV TF with all the high experience bomber and torpedo squadrons, and put them all on 100% ASW, there will be no submarines within 10 hexes operational in the space of one or two turns.

Now, onw could theoretically argue this as a valid point (not sure how, but then again....). If I do this, with my hordes of Zeros at 100% CAP, I can float around at leisure without fear of airstrikes from the enemy, while simulataneously wiping out the sub threat.

That is an example of what I call "gamey"
