... I'd like to suggest a game called "Lead Balloon".

Cat chess? This rules variant is slightly different from the last one I saw, but looks promising.

[Tuj] A game of Morningtonian Government sounds like fun to me.

I like both ideas that don't involve cat chess. I don't understand how Cat Chess would work. Bantering would be my vote if it is an ether/ore choice.

Have you noticed that there isn't a single game of "Mornington Crescent" in play on this server. Why don't we start one of those?

How do you play that then, Kim?

I dont' think MC itself works very well here. It really has to be played live so that the players can display all the mock-gravity and in-depth knowledge of arcane rules that this involves. It's a performance, really, and needs rather good actors.
