List of Fictional Games - Other Games

Other Games

• The Glass Bead Game - Hermann Hesse's novel of the same name
• Gobstones - Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, a marbles-like game where players are sprayed with foul-smelling liquid when they lose.
• House Rules Parcheesi - Ozy and Millie, a game similar to Calvinball but with predefined rules (only it's never explained what they are). The Zen idea that one must learn to let go of concrete ideas and objectives is very close to the dragons' hearts, so a game of House Rules Parcheesi only ends when a player accepts the current location of the roll of duct tape as being equally valid to the "goal," and serenely stops trying to move it. Whether the player then wins or is being rewarded for not-winning is ambiguous.
