Abstract: The games $\mathcal{G}_{1}^{\eta }(\kappa )$ and $\mathcal{G}_{<\lambda }^{\eta }(\kappa )$ are played by two players in $\eta ^{+}$-complete and max $(\eta ^{+},\lambda )$-complete Boolean algebras, respectively. For cardinals $\eta ,\kappa $ such that $\kappa ^{<\eta }=\eta $ or $\kappa ^{<\eta }=\kappa $, the $(\eta ,\kappa )$-distributive law holds in a Boolean algebra $\mathbf{B}$ iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in $\mathcal{G}_{1}^{\eta }(\kappa )$. Furthermore, for all cardinals $\kappa $, the $(\eta ,\infty )$-distributive law holds in $\mathbf{B}$ iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in $\mathcal{G}_{1}^{\eta }(\infty )$. More generally, for cardinals $\eta ,\lambda ,\kappa $ such that $(\kappa ^{<\lambda })^{<\eta }=\eta $, the $(\eta ,<\lambda ,\kappa )$-distributive law holds in $\mathbf{B}$ iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in $\mathcal{G}_{<\lambda }^{\eta }(\kappa )$. For $\eta $ regular and $\lambda \le \text{min}(\eta ,\kappa )$, $\lozenge _{\eta ^{+}}$ implies the existence of a Suslin algebra in which $\mathcal{G}_{<\lambda }^{\eta }(\kappa )$ is undetermined.
