I am working on a simple relationship with DataMapper, a ruby webapp to track games. A game belongs_to 4 players, and each player can have many games. When I call player.games.size, I seem to be getting back a result of 0, for players that I know have games associated with them. I am currently able to pull the player associations off of game, but can't figure out why player.games is empty. Do I need to define a parent_key on the has n association, or is there something else I'm missing?

class Game
  belongs_to :t1_p1, :class_name => 'Player', :child_key => [:player1_id]
  belongs_to :t1_p2, :class_name => 'Player', :child_key => [:player2_id]
  belongs_to :t2_p1, :class_name => 'Player', :child_key => [:player3_id]
  belongs_to :t2_p2, :class_name => 'Player', :child_key => [:player4_id]
  ...
end

class Player
  has n, :games
  ...
end
