How to give away games on steam

I want to give away my counterstrike game to my lil bro, although I don't even know how to do it. Any way to gift a played game?

Impossible. Games are bound to the account. Your only option is family sharing.

Games in your library can not be given away. No matter who you intend to give it to.
Games are permanently bound in your library. Period.

"To enable the sharing feature, you must first log in to your family member or friend's computer with your Steam account. Next, open the settings menu, click on the Family tab, and choose to authorize the computer. You will then have the option to authorize any accounts that have also logged into the same computer"

Just be aware of VAC.

"Your Family Library Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if your library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared. We recommend you only authorize familiar computers you know to be secure. And as always, never give your password to anyone"
