Ask HN: Are There Any Play by Email Games?
I just saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18577842 where somebody used SES to collect spam emails. It reminded me that somebody posted a play by email game to here a couple of years ago. Does anybody know what that game was and if it's still around? I'm also interested in any other play by email games. If there's enough interest I might try my hand at writing such a game, and putting together a serverless stack to run it.
- dvtrn 8y agoChess by email can be fun, long-but fun. Longest game with a childhood friend and fellow chess nerd lasted 3 months (our longest game in real life: 6 hours). Kicker was: we couldn't talk outside of that email thread. No text, no calls, see each other in public? Nothing more but a head nod of respect.
