In Gentoo, the package name is bsd-games I think. Other distributions probably have their own packages for it. I think with Debian they are automatically installed. Some are less usable by a blind person than others, but there are such classics as "Hunt the Wumpus" and "Advent", as well as a very usable monopoly game called monop.
