people who understand latin grammar, how would I make a phrase like pax romana but with ludo (play) in place of roma?
pax ludens? pax ludica?

Google Translate gives me Pax Ludi, which tracks with Magister Ludi, master of games, the alt title of the glass bead game...

Depends on what you want to convey. 'romana' is an adjective (feminine singular inflection of romanus; Roman) while ludo is a verb meaning 'I play'. 'ludi' is genitive singular of ludus (game), so the literal meaning of 'pax ludi' would be 'peace of [the] game'.

Romanus is an adjective -- "roman peace" not "peace of the romans" So pax ludi or pax ludorum = "peace of the game(s)" For adjective form, could go with ludicra (!) which per the dictionary= "connected with sport or the stage"
