Because people don't understand that winning isn't an end result. It's about you being yourself. If you have to change who you are or lie about something than you've cheated yourself. People play games because they can't handle the reality.
They can't handle flaws, being wrong, or losing some combination of those. Either way mind games should not be played. If people don't appear to make coherent decisions than they should be left in their world.

There are certain evilness in everyone. Someone think that if they can trick other people, they are superior than those are being tricked.
So they play those mind games just to satisfy themselves thinking they are better then others. It is an act of belittling others.
Little did they know that they are just being shallow.

like it or not competition exists throughout nature - human game playing just sprouted off of the competition for survival and some people can't extricate themselves from the imperative, drop the drama and just exist next to others without a little game

I agree with most responders.
They get a payoff out of it.
They elevate themselves and knock someone else down.
The best of both worlds.
Water's wet.
Rocks are hard.
Some folks don't know any other way to interact with others.
That's just the way it is.

They feel insecure, and by pulling one over on you they have a reason to feel superior. It's a way of protecting themselves. Although personally, I find it too difficult - I have way more important things to do than worry about everyone else and how to mess up their head(s).

Immaturity. They don't stop to realize the damage and/or pain it can cause for the victim of such nonsense.

Because they can. Because you let them. Because they are getting something out of it. Why else?
