It exists differents manner to compare a date with another, i don't know if you already know it !

you can try something like this :

PHP Code:

function game_is_okay($todays_date){
    $exp_date = "2006-01-16"; // You can read it from a file, or create it manually, i don't know...
    $today = strtotime($todays_date);
    $expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date);
    if ($expiration_date > $today) {
      return 1;
    } 
    else { 
      return 0;
    }
}

$date = date("Y-m-d"); 
if (game_is_okay($date)){
 // Do the game !
}
else {
 // echo "error ! please wait ...etc";
}
