This post contains spoilers for the series finale of "Succession."
The Roy family likes to play games, and more often than not, they're games you don't want to lose. The family's traditions are as enduring as they are cruel, often mentioned with a casualness that lets us know they've been baked into family time for decades. There are the mostly benign traditions, like the kids' birthday roast of Logan (Brian Cox), and the particularly brutal ones, like "Boar on the Floor," in which the family patriarch makes the kids fight and grovel like pigs. There are games that start out innocuous and end up awful, as when a lighthearted word game called "I Went To Market" ends with Logan hitting his grandson across the face, and games that never had any business being called such to begin with, like how Kendall (Jeremy Strong) used to keep Roman (Kieran Culkin) in a cage.
