In the lies game it has recently been suggested that all of Shakespeare's plays were based on board games (the only surviving example, of course, being Othello). So here's an opportunity to give full details of the remainder...
And so it begins...
Projoy - An easy one to start off with, then:

Name: Macbetho!
Number of Players: up to 4 Thanes
Object of the Game: Become the King of Scotland and hold on to your castle for six rolls of the dice before Birnam Wood doth come unto Dunsinane!
Parts included: Board (map of Southern Scotland), Three witches + cauldron (spin them round to get a prediction), dagger (questionable), Guards, Hecate's Mystery Prediction Cards, pieces (Macbeth, Duncan, Malcolm, Fleance, Lady Macbeth), twigs, branches etc.
Pedagogy: Teaches youngsters the value of a career plan and to raise their aspirations - excellent as a resource for school-leavers
Additional pedagogy - Flash cards for younger players, containing objects to identify (e.g. dagger)
Breadmaster - Name: Forests and Fairies
Number of players: Any number of swains, princes, maidens, and rude mechanicals, plus whoever is willing to be Oberon, the King of the Fairies
How to play: No gameboard required! Although if you're a real obsessive you can get little metal models of your characters to help you imagine. Oberon describes each situation to the player characters, who must decide how to react, such as trying out any suspicious magic potions, fighting each other for sexual favours, etc, preferably with hilarious consequences.
Aim of the game: To pair up with the correct partner. Additional points may be awarded for sufficiently amusing inappropriate pairings while you try to establish who your correct partner is.
Additional rules: Characters partially turned into animals in an amusing fashion get bonuses to their saving throws vs. erotic attacks. Characters amusingly named after body parts suffer penalties to their intelligence rolls. Under no circumstances is anyone to make lewd use of the word "Puck".
Chalky -

All Swell! Tha' Tends Well! - the Hilarious game of Doctors and Nurses suitable for all the family!

Background: It's a cinch to work out why the Bard couldn't resist the strong medical theme running through this Hilarious game and use it to such dramatic effect in his Hilarious Comedy of Sexism in the hospital workplace somewhere in the sick bed of Europe.
Aim of the game: Each player takes turns to create a HUGE and Hilarious swelling on a realistic body part of their choice. Then the Men - the King and the Count - pit their medical wits against the Women - the Countess and the trainee nurse - to find a way of reducing the swelling often with Hilarious results!
Equipment: The boxed game costing only £77.99 and found exclusively in only the very best branches of Waitrose comes complete with: Seven Most Likely To Swell Up Body Parts made from polyplypropyleneleneplyethate plastic - a knee, an elbow, a fat lip, a cauliflower ear, a thumb, a nose and something from the groin area. Plus A Collection of Fistulas, Cannulas, Hyperdermics, Leeches, Swiss Army Knives and Trepanning Tools which are used to Reduce or Cure the swelling, often with Hilarious results!
And The Winners are : the first team to locate the squirty pus and release it all over the opposing team!

Projoy - [Breadmaster] No equipment needed? Surely a little bottle (to spin) would be a handy accessory!
Bob the dog -


Coconut Shylock - So go already!

Background: A game of racial stereotypes
Aim of the game: Be the first to topple 'nutty' Mr Shylock.
Equipment: 5 kosher moneylender coconuts and as many Kohl Rabbi as you can carry.
And The Winners are :Merchant Bankers.
Raak - Elsinore, a collectible card game. Here are a few examples of the cards in the standard starter set.
Ghost (Common)
Strikes fear into the player attacked. If successful, the player misses a turn.
"most foul, strange, and unnatural"
Horatio (Common)
Defends against Ghost attacks.
"These are but wild and whirling words."
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Uncommon)
Each of these cards may be used to spy on another player, who must reveal all the cards he holds at that moment. A player who holds one of each of these may play both, announce "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead", and move directly to Elsinore. The cards are then withdrawn from play.
"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead."
Irresolution (Common)
When played as an attack, causes the attacked player to forgo all attacks for two turns. Played as a defence, the player sits out two turns but is immune to attacks for those turns.
"To be or not to be, that is the question."
Conscience (Common)
As Indecision, but the effects last only one turn.
"Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all."
Madness (Common)
As Indecision, but the effects last three turns, or until the effect is dispelled.
"And with a look so piteous in purport / As if he had been loosed out of hell"
Hamlet's cigars (Uncommon)
Restores sanity to a character under the influence of Madness.
"Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet."
Hamlet's Hat (Uncommon)
This hat's brim magically expands as necessary to shield the wearer's cigar from rain. When a player's hand includes both Hamlet's Cigars and Hamlet's Hat, the player is immune to Madness and Ghosts.
"For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold."
Travelling players (Uncommon)
When this card is exposed in a player's hand, his Conscience attacks have double effect.
"You could, for a need, study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines whch I would set down and insert in't? could you not?"
Foil (Common)
A player attacked by a Foil may defend by playing a Foil, to which the attacker may play another Foil (if he has one), and so on. The attack succeeds if the attacker is the last to play a Foil.
"These foils have all a length?"
Envenom'd Foil (Rare)
Behaves as an ordinary Foil, except that when played as the last card of an attack with Foils (by the attacker or defender), the player it is played against dies (is eliminated from the game) after two more complete turns.
"O, I die, Horatio; / This potent poison quite o'er-crows my spirit"
Switch foils (Rare)
When an attack ends with an Envenom'd Foil, the defeated player may avoid dying by playing this card to take the Envemon'd Foil into his own hand. The attack then counts as an unsuccessful attack.
"Why, as a woodcock to my own springe, Osric; / I am justly kill'd with mine own treachery."
Poisoned cup (Rare)
Used to attack another player. If successful, that player dies (is eliminated from the game) after two more complete turns. He takes the card into his own hand and can use it to make a similar attack before he dies.
"And in the cup an union shall he throw"
Ruler (Common)
A player may attempt to become King of Denmark by playing a Ruler. Any player may then play a Ruler, until no player wishes to play another Ruler. The last to play a Ruler is now King of Denmark. He takes all the Ruler cards played, and can use each one to negate any attack against him.
"The King is dead! Long live the King!"
Fortinbras (Rare)
If there is no current King of Denmark, playing this card makes the player King of Denmark, and the other players must surrender all their Ruler cards to him. Otherwise, the card has no effect.
"I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, / Which now to claim my vantage doth invite me."
Blob - [Raak] I reckon that's marketable ! Brilliant.
patent officer - *takes notes surreptitiously*
Raak - Ok, a week's long enough to wait.

The Shakespearian Tarot Deck.

The Minor Arcana consists of a card for each sonnet, bearing the text of the sonnet printed over an emblem of its meaning. They are divided into four suits: Hearts (Love), Bones (Death), Winds (Fortune or Fate) and Coins (The World). The Major Arcana include a card for each play, divided into a Lower Rank of Comedies, and an Upper Rank of Tragedies. Each card bears a picture of the central character or an emblem of the theme of the play (e.g. The Tempest). There is an extra Major Arcana card ranking above the rest, representing The Playwright.

The deck comes with a book describing the Significances and Correspondences of the cards, methods of fortune telling, and the rules for games that can be played with the deck. All of this esoteric information is derived from a study of the codes hidden in Shakespeare's works, which also prove their authorship by Francis Bacon.

Dunx - [Raak] I'm frankly surprised that that someone hasn't released that, given The Lord of the Rings Oracle...
Raak - [Dunx] Ye Gods! Clicking through some of the links from there, I came across a list called "No nonsense tarot books". Contradiction in terms, really.
Breadmaster - Strangely enough, my young lady friend is a tarot reader. She did me a reading a while back. Apparently an upside-down hanged man is a good thing, although I'm not convinced. She seems very keen for me to take out a lot of insurance, that's for sure.
Raak - Titus! A live-action fantasy role-playing game set in ancient Rome. Fun for all the family! Two pie-dishes and an oven required.
Projoy - The Quality Of Mercy - a hectic dash through the Venetian legal system. Will you end up plaintiff or proposer, judge, jew or jury, besmirched or betrothed? Open the secret boxes of silver, gold and lead to discover your fate! Contains fake judge wig and costume and handy fleshknife kit.
Thos - Sounds a bit strained to me.
gil - Oh, I don't know, it was raining milk and honey yesterday.

I think the problem with this game is that Raak's entry silenced everyone with awe.

Projoy - Finishing off, then, with Friends, Romans, Countrymen - for honourable men aged 8-50. make your way to the top of Roman politics by battles or backstabbing. Roll a six and nominate another player to meet you in the senate. Cry "havoc", and fight a battle, or submit yourself to the unkindest cut of all. Speaking of which...
Audience - *shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Projoy*
Breadmaster - Splendid stuff, admirable while it lasted, and as gil said, Raak essentially snatched a moral if not a technical victory a fair while back. Now all we need to do is start a game which is one of the ones described...
karl - kiss ass
Projoy - [karl] Is that the Folio or Quarto edition?
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
