Do you mean something like this...?

Regular expression with capture
$games{person} = "11::Game name::Game date";

foreach (sort keys %games) {
    my ($count, $rest) = $games{$_} =~ /^([^:]+)::(.*)/;
    print "<td>$count</td><td>$rest</td>...";
}

Somehow I have a feeling that you are actually looking for a way to sort your hash by each person's score?
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my %games;

$games{person1} = "11::Game name::Game date";
$games{person2} = "12::Game name::Game date";
$games{person3} = "9::Game name::Game date";

# sort by score, and record sorted list of hash keys
my @sorted =
    map { $_->[0] }
    sort { $b->[1] <=> $a->[1] }
    map { [ $_, (split /::/,$games{$_})[0] ] }
    keys %games;

foreach (@sorted) {
    # my ($count, $rest) = $games{$_} =~ /^(\d+)::(.*)/;

    # I like thor's split with limit suggestion below,
    # certainly looks cleaner.
    my ($count, $rest) = split/::/,$games{$_},2;

    print "<td>$_</td><td>$count</td><td>$rest</td>...\n";
}

And now combile the Schwartzian transform and the foreach to get the optimized form -
...

print "<td>$_->[1]</td><td>$_->[2]</td>...\n"
    for sort { int $b->[1] <=> int $a->[1] }
        map { [ $_, split /::/, $games{$_}, 2 ] }
        keys %games;
