There is no harm in saying: "I played such and such" or "I won such and such" if the game is permissible. However, it is better for someone of high aspiration to utilize their time in what benefits them in the Hereafter. A previous fatwa clarified the permissibility of playing games that include music or other forbidden elements, provided that the music is stopped, the sound is muted, or one averts their gaze from the forbidden. Nevertheless, it is preferable to engage in what is more beneficial.
