Is there a man command that lists all games in the bsdgames package?

I recently installed bsd games. But no matter what I try, I can't find any man command that lists them all. man bsdgames returns nothing. It's as if the collection only has manuals for the specific games, without giving the user any way to list said games. I'm stuck in a delightful loop of only being able to play Hunt The Wumps because it's the only game that I know is installed.

No that is not the goal of man page. Man pages are manuals for commands, not for listing content.

See the package itself. You can also do (when it is installed):

dpkg -L bsdgames
