BUR #5994 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias ousama_game -> king_game

Very hard to find this tag when everyone just calls it the "Kings game". Its undertagged as a result

I'd recommend "King's Game" with the apostrophe (keeping in line with how we also changed Girls Frontline to Girls' Frontline recently).

That said... "King's Game" might potentially be ambiguous and confused for other copyrights with similar names. There's Ousama King (novel) (and anime/movie) for one, which is also translated as "King's Game" in English. That one doesn't have many examples yet though.

This is very much needed, not sure which way the alias should go though since we have started to move away from Japanese terms if possible when it comes to tags.

I'd say that Ousama Game sounds less ambiguous to me, while "King's Game" before me reading this thread today will have me wondering what exactly it is (thinking it's some copyright tag mistagged as a gentag, probably).

Wikipedia just refers to it as "King Game" (wikipedia), a similar naming scheme as "pocky game." It also makes note not to confuse it with the drinking card game "Kings" (wikipedia).

That sounds far better then. Removing the 's' reduces further ambiguity with all the other similar-named terms that have 's' in them.
