Refer to other jade file in Node JS

I started working with node.js and express. Now I want to add a link which refers to another jade file (Open a new site). My folder structure is the following:

test/app.js

test/views/index.jade

test/views/games.jade

My target is to refer with a link inside the index.jade to the games.jade. The index works perfect but if I try to refer to games.jade, I get the following error:

Cannot GET /games.jade

Here's a little part of my app.js

app.get('/', function (req, res){
res.render('index');
});

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('games.jade');
});

Inside the index.jade, I try to refer with the following line:

a(href="games.jade") Games

So how do I fix this issue? I think there is a routing problem but I can't find the solution. I also checked this question but there wasn't any success: Linking to other jade files

You will first need to register that route with your apps router for the route /games

Then use the route like so.

app.get('/', function (req, res){
   res.render('index');
});

app.get('/games', function(req, res){
   res.render('games.jade');
});

the route or link will then be (href="/games") Games

That's wrong you can't have two equal routes app.get('/') do a new one like:

app.get('/games', function(req, res){
  res.render('games.jade');
});

And then link that like this:

a(href="/games") Games
