I have noticed in several of the episodes that members of the crew are playing very traditional, not to say old fashioned games. I have noticed chinese checkers, dominoes, cards and horse shoes. Guess it makes sense that they would need amusement in the black given the long distances and the tedium of the trip. Has anyone noticed any other games? If you were on Serenity's crew what games would you take? No electronic games allowed, nothing with batteries.

Hrm.

Settlers of Catan

Buffy the Vampire Slayer CCG (I have enough cards for the whole crew!)

A Game of Thrones CCG (only enough for a couple decks, we'd have to share!)

Chrononauts (though the subject matter might be confusing, since it deals with the 20th century on Earth-that-was)

Risk 2210 (Can also be used to play the original game)

Early: You ever been raped, Kaylee?
Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

Chess, everyone needs chess. The M-game (three or more normal decks of cards.) UNO Maybe Go, Rota, other things too.

I'm thinking a 3-d version of a normal board game, cause it's the future, you need a futury thing, chess is good for this but it requires different rules( http://www.hixoxih.com/games/chess/3D8L.htm, http://www.chessvariants.com/3d.dir/withams-3d-chess.html) could also be Othello, or even Go.

Been a long time since I looked at the second 3-d chess link, yeah it needs some work I need to update that severely.

Go is cool,

Definately chess, due to my obsession with the game.

But who would the best player be ?

Simon, likely a solid positional player

Zoe, always with the tactics

Book, for his depth in book openings of course
( couldn't resist )

River, In everyones head ( Like Shirov maybe )

Inara, playing for developement

Jayne, crazy with the sacs

Kaylee, pawn endings

Wash, a speed master

Mal, focused right in on the King

Does anybody in the Cleveland area play this game?

I have SOOOO many cards and no one to play with... my friends all look at me like I'm insane when I try to get them to play.

Mal, Kaylee, Wash, and Jayne are all too impuslive to play chess. I don't see Zoe as being much of a chess person either, since there's not enough action, and she's an action based person. I could see Simon and Book playing competitively, but River would obviously blow everyone out of the water- besides being the intuitive genius she is, she'd know what her opponent was thinking.

As far as card games are concerned, it's all about Euchre.

I don't know, I can see Zoë playing chess. Remember "The Train Job"? She was playing Chinese checkers and kicking Mal's butt.

What game were the boys playing with the round fruit cards in Shindig? "Plums are tall," Simon says. Does that mean plums are trump? Is there such a game in production?

"Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity?" Zoe, War Stories
