Abstract
Relying on recent generalizations of the Fra\"iss\'e theory to a broader category-theoretic context, we study the class of abstract finite games played between two players and show the existence of an infinitetly countable game which is ultrahomogeneous and universal with respect to said class. Certain peculiarities of our game categories which clash with the usual framework found in the literature then lead us to formulate weaker category-theoretic properties which still yield a universal and ultrahomogeneous Fra\"iss\'e limit, thus further generalizing the categorical framework for a Fra\"iss\'e theory.
