wiki page: List of games that Buddha would not play XA 7 languages ~ Article Talk Tools v 1. Games on boards with 8 or 10 rows. This is thought to refer to ashtapada and dasapada respectively; however, later Sinhala commentaries refer to these boards also being used with games involving dice. 2 2. The same games played on imaginary boards. Akasam astapadam was an ashtapada variant played with no board, literally "astapadam played in the sky". A correspondent in the American Chess Bulletin identifies this as likely the earliest literary mention of a blindfold chess variant. 5] 3. Games of marking diagrams on the floor such that the player can only walk on certain places. This is described in the Vinaya Pitaka as "having drawn a circle with various lines on the ground, there they play avoiding the line to be avoided". Rhys Davids suggests that it may refer to parihara-patham, a form of hop-scotch. 4. Games where players either remove pieces from a pile or add pieces to it, with the loser being the one who causes the heap to shake (similar to the modern game pick-up sticks). 5. Games of throwing dice.

6. Dipping the hand with the fingers stretched out in lac, or red dye, or flour-water, and striking the wet hand on the ground or on a wall, calling out "What shall it be?" and showing the form required— elephants, horses, etc.. 7. Ball games. 8. Blowing through a pat-kulal, a toy pipe made of leaves. 9. Ploughing with a toy plough. 10. Playing with toy windmills made from palm leaves. 11. Playing with toy measures made from palm leaves. 12. Playing with toy carts. 13. Playing with toy bows. 14. Guessing at letters traced with the finger in the air or on a friend's back. (letters in the Brahmi script) 15. Guessing a friend's thoughts. 16. Imitating deformities.

For those interested in the academic research of role-playing games, we have just released our latest issue of the International Journal of Role-Playing (17!).

221 pages of work, all for advancing knowledge about this medium.

Leonora Carrington, The Lovers, 1987

The confusion began when we began letting them call this stuff "content" rather than, say, "expression." Content is a consumable substance which may as well be synthesized if you can. Expression is an attempt to communicate some aspect of the experience of being alive.
