Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, Shogi, and Go.

I was wondering whether any of these exist in Mizahar in any form.

For example, the word chess is already used in analogies all over the place to explain feats of strategy and queen-pawn dominance relations.

However, what strategy games exist?

Combat threads do include a certain amount of calculation and writing responses for every possible action and reaction, but in a real, fast-paced combat situation instinct would take over and the only thing that would help is prior training. (Which is why Skill XP exists)

Consider martial arts. Not really hard to understand what each moves does, but one needs to train for months or years before it becomes second-nature and he can use it automatically in a fight. Subconsciously, like walking or driving.

What I had in mind was simply a direct translation of Shogi and/or Go and/ore Chess -- with the jargon changed, but the rules intact.
Or perhaps even have the jargon intact as well.

Is it safe to presume the games exist and use them in the threads as an event where two people play together?

If card games http://www.mizahar.com/lore/Card_Games are in mizahar then you can assume other real world games are in the game as well.

I don't see why chess, tic tac toe are not in the game since they have been around forward as for the other two I might not know them yet I don't see any reason why they would not be.

Phew. Thanks for that!

However, I still don't know if I should wait until they are given a proper name.
