I did not watch it yet and I'm not sure about the quality of the auto-generated French subtitles.

Re: The Symbolism of Games (French)
Well I watched it. The problem is that the guy is not really a fakeologist but for the symbology, I guess that it doesn't matter if the stories are true or false.
His thesis is that the people who designed these games, left a spiritual interpretation of those games. Unfortunately, he didn't really go into details, I think that he just wanted to bring awareness on those things and let people figure out on their own if they are interested.
The first game was the "Hopscotch", you can see on the picture earth at the bottom and sky on top, it gives you an idea.
The second was the playing cards design, he talks about the shape of the suit family icon, the way the cards are organized.
The third game was the "Game of the Goose", he explain the symbolism of the goose, the snail (hermaphrodite) and the idea of reaching the center through the roll of dices.
The last one was chess and I felt like he didn't reveal much.
