'''Blood Games''' are an exercise practiced by the [[Adeptus Custodes]], through which members of the Custodes act as enemy combatants and attempt to penetrate the security of the [[Imperial Palace]] on [[Terra]]. This enables the Custodes to anticipate an enemy's moves and constantly update and adapt their security measures, to ensure that the [[Golden Throne]] remains unharmed.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
During the [[Bloodborn]]'s invasion of [[Calth]], [[Judd Clausel]], [[Chaplain]] of the [[Ultramarines]] 4th Company, suggested to [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Uriel Ventris]], that he try to "think like the enemy," citing the example of the Blood Games, in order to determine where Calth's defenses might be vulnerable.{{Fn|1}}
