There are many games out there that can help you with your writing. One of the great games is a card game called Once Upon a Time. It is on its third edition now and going strong. Tabletop even did a review on it, but it can also be used as a writing tool. I have a second edition main set that I have used for years. Whenever I get stuck I pull out the cards and pull three to write about.
There is also writer’s block dice. With so many that I would recommend just searching the Internet and finding a set that works best for you.
Another great game is Chrononauts. Which is all about changing history to get to your ending. It is one of the great games that helps with understanding time travel.
On a personal note, I have grown up playing games like these and some more difficult game. Gaming has always helped me in opening my imagination. It has helped me to strategies and makes more dynamic characters.
There is more to gaming than your average person may know about. Take a moment and think back to the games that you have played and how they have influenced you. Because in some way they have touched you.
