Thanks bunches to Cameo for filling in for me the last few weeks.

What is or would be your character's favorite board/table top/card game? Go wild! In-world, out of world, in-Bar, in reality, whatever catches your fancy.

For that matter, what is/are yours?

Still headachey after waking up from having passed out drunk earlier, but:

So, you know that cliche of the strategist of a group enjoying chess? Yeah. Yeah, Yamato is absolutely that cliche. He also enjoys dai-shogi, but finding someone willing to play is a challenge.

Anakin would probably love a good game of Risk, if he could keep up the attention span, which he probably could if someone dared/challenge him.

R2 loves Dejarik (aka space-chess) and, being R2, is fantastic at it. He lets the Wookie win.

Lois would adore Spirit Island, which is pretty much Settlers of Catan in reverse. She would probably get a kick out of Sentinels of the Multiverse in general and in specific later. She would also totally be down for Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan. Ooooh she'd love Betrayal at House on the Hill, Arkham Horror, and Wizard's Academy if anyone could find that one (yes these three are all ones I love, I have gotten lazy and stopped trying to do links). I feel like someone gave her some Pokemon cards but she never actually played. She wants to play Monopoly and love it because she can decimate others, but also, it sucks. She would absolutely play Risk and in her house it is A Serious Matter where they give no quarter. She plays poker and has taught her classmates to before. She's probably pretty good!

Tavi falls into that category of "master strategist loves [fantasy] chess" cliches. (Fantasy chess existed before contact with Alerans, but Alerans and Canim seem to have speedily adapted it for furycrafting skills and Aleran society. Don't... don't ask me how that works, okay, I'm just working with what Butcher gave me.) I'll be honest, there is very little in the way of board games or card games that he wouldn't love, both competitive and cooperative. He just. He would love strategy games, he would love coop games, he probably has slightly less interest in collectible card games but if you handed him the cards to play he'd love to experiment with strategy and things. He'd probably play anything at least once, but not repeat some. So... start with the ones I listed for Lois, and then just. Anything really.

Derius prefers cooperative games to competitive ones, though he does also love chess. I think he actually would find collectible card games interesting but not super enjoy tournaments. Card games, he'd probably enjoy bridge, again for cooperative aspect. He's, uh, less competitive? combative? than his father.

Ahsoka would love cats games like Pokémon or Magic the Gathering.

Sabine has that Mandalorian strategy game they showed which kind of seemed like a 3D tic-tak-toe to me. (I’m on phone or I’d look it up.)

Jess loves card games like poker and it’s all Ben Grimm’s fault.

Tybalt, I would imagine, loves what card games were about in the 17th - 19th centuries.

Alustin, the new pup, is all about card games of skill and even loves a canon game that’s much like poker but each round the players rotate the hands to the left or right depending on things.

No prob, Bob!

My personal favourite is Cards Against Humanity but the only one of my cast I can see being into that is Cirava and maybe Thurlow on a discreet evening with their Bohemian scoundrel friends.
