Rewrite rules in nginx config

[dr.net]

Hi all, 
thank's to accept me in this forum.

I'm a newbie... I have a problem with a rewrite rules that I imported from
apache

This is my code 


index home.php index.php;
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)?$ /categories.php?cat=$1;
rewrite ^/(.*).html?$ /game.php?game=$1;
rewrite ^/(.*)/(.*).html?$ /game.php?game=$2 break;
}

    location /dists/ {
        # Do nothing. nginx will serve files as usual.
    }
    
    location /images/ {
        # Do nothing. nginx will serve files as usual.
    }
    location /admin/ {
        # Do nothing. nginx will serve files as usual.
    }
    location /css/ {
        # Do nothing. nginx will serve files as usual.
    }
    location /config/ {
        # Do nothing. nginx will serve files as usual.
    }

I'd like ti take parameters from cat and game and use them to know the path.

This is oc, but so... all others directories don't work.
Is this configuration so insensitive?
