Let's solve the problem step by step:
Let's assume the number of games they played last season as 'x'.
According to the problem, the number of games they play this season is 12 more than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.
Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:
x/3 + 12 = 21
Now, let's solve for x:
x/3 = 21 - 12
x/3 = 9
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = 9 * 3
x = 27
Therefore, they played 27 games last season. So the answer is 27 games.
