Did any games come from Mexico?

Yes. At the very least, the rodeo - known as charreria in Mexico - which was first invented by the Mexican vaqueros, which was later adopted by Americans during their expansion to the US Southwest.

Also, the Mesoamerican ball game, played by Aztecs and Mayas some 3,000 years before contact with Europeans was made. It was a game similar to Racquetball or volleyball, where the object was to keep a solid rubber ball in play. In formal games, the losing team members were sacrificed to the ancient Mesoamerican gods. Due to the extremely brutal game mechanics - even without the human sacrifice - it is now played just for representation purposes.
