Episode 82, Part 1 - Imaginary Games, Part 1

Hello everyone! We've spent lo these many months talking about real games - now it's time for us to talk about games that DON'T exist. Although some of them actually do exist now, but didn't originally. Come on along with us - maybe it will make more sense if you give this a listen! Among the games we discuss:

Jetan, or Martian Chess - an entirely playable game

Rithmomachia (which Frank refers to as "Rithomancy")

Star Trek games. So many Star Trek games:

3-D Chess

Strategema

Tongo (with unofficial rules here)

Kadis-Kot

Also at least one Star Wars game, which is fine because apparently none of us can tell Star Trek and Star Wars apart any more.

Plus a drive-by James Bond appearance.

Also, an excellent actual play of Mornington Crescent (and the tangentially related Numberwang!)

What's your favorite imaginary game? Which classics did we forget? And what happened to Joe? Come visit our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded game nerds!
