A full screen game is not 'playing by the rules' so to speak and cannot be minimized. You either play them or quit them. Some games give you the option of being full screen or in a windows. (You'll have seen this option the first time you played the game and at that point you chose either in window or full screen.)

This is an easy one. Click on the yellow button in the upper left hand corner. If you just want to make a window smaller, "drag" it smaller by clicking the mouse on the lower right hand corner of the window and dragging the window to the size you want.

Try to hit Cmd+M, usually that drops the game to windowed mode, then hit minimize from there.
