I created a new table for Tokaido, but I quit it before playing. I then made a new table, and completed the game, but I did not receive the 5 bonus points for playing a new game. And the same has also happened with other games.As a matter of fact, I have played 7 different games, so I should have at least 7x5=35 points, but I only have 23.

That's certainly not what it says though.
We have 60 different games you haven't tried before: Try a new game and get 5 !
Try does not mean win, nor should it. Especially in a game such as Saboteur for instance, which is normally played with 7-8 players. By the time you win a game, you have not only tried it, but gotten good at it.

That's right. The information is available elsewhere, but this is confusing.
Changed it to "Try a new game and get 5 for your first win!" this is more accurate.

Hope you mean that humorously, or maybe even affectuously? A smiley would have made it more obvious.
Well, I'll believe that anyway. The other option would be pretty rash.
