It's clear that the ultra-rich don't see poorer people as adults (or as people in general) and choose children's games turned deadly to mock the Squid Game players. However, under the surface, the reasoning behind using children's games is a little more complicated but no less disturbing. Therefore, the Squid Game games are there for his own nostalgia and entertainment, and to bring some type of "joy" into his life.
He goes on to say that rich people and poor people have suffering in common and that as a rich man because he can buy anything he wants, he finds little joy in his life. He explains that the Squid Games' origins began with games he played as a child and he created the games themselves as a means to entertain the mega-rich, like himself. Gi-hun asks the old man a number of questions, but the most important is why Il-nam created the Squid Games in the first place. In Squid Game episode 9, "One Lucky Day", Gi-hun receives an invitation and finds Il-nam on his deathbed. On the surface, the reason that Squid Game uses children's games is relatively simple. In many ways, this dynamic mirrors the capitalist corruption that Squid Game critiques – a society in which the poor have no real way to rise to an equal station as the rich, but where an illusion of equality is perpetuated nonetheless. He is obviously more skilled and prepared, but he acts like he and Gi-hun are on an even playing field. In the example shown of Gi-hun playing with the Squid Game recruiter, it’s clear that he’s at a disadvantage because the recruiter carries his own set of game pieces around. The goal is simply to flip your opponent's tile on the ground by striking it with your own tile, made of folded paper.
The Squid Game's origins come from a traditional Korean game similar in many ways to the popular 1990s game known as Pogs.
In the show, the recruitment game Gi-hun plays is ddakji, also called ttakji. Here's the first of all the Squid Games games in order. Before Squid Game's gameshow begins, players are first tested by the organization’s recruiters, people who seek out those deeply in debt and prey on their desperation through the promise of reward for playing a simple game.
