I'd never play games during work hours. (Although some may consider Planning Poker to be a bit of a game...)
I worked at a company where one day a week, we'd play a game after hours. It was great team building.
I worked at another company where someone was playing a game after hours, and was summarily fired for it on the spot.

It's interesting how you bring up team building. It seems far more acceptable to play ping pong or foosball with your coworkers (during the work day). It's probably because that is seen as an informal team building activity.
