Portions of /var are sharable:
Here is a summarizing chart. This chart is only an example for a common
FHS-compliant system, other chart layouts are possible within FHS-
compliance.
+---------+-----------------+-------------+
| | shareable | unshareable |
+---------+-----------------+-------------+
|static | /usr | /etc |

If you want to share nethack bones files, you put them in /var/games/nethack,
or similar, then share it.
