Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you should get x-ray of the hand to make sure if there is any hairline fracture or bony injury is present. It is very common to have such fracture during gaming with very trivial injury.  If there is any fracture than you will need splinting and analgesics like broken. Splinting is helpful even if there is no fracture and only soft tissue injury. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
