FWIW, the common practice on FreeBSD is to place game binaries into
/usr/local/bin, static game data into /usr/local/share/<gamename>, and
variable game data into /var/games/<gamename>. There are some
exceptions, but this is how most ports work.

As for /var data permissions, setgid binaries with group "games" are
common (/var/games is owned by root:games); I don't think there's any
effort to improve security above whatever the upstream offers.
