There seems to be a whole slew of "analog" games coming out for classic discrete games. For example, "Not Tetris" is an analog-Tetris. https://stabyourself.net

I certainly enjoy these games. So hopefully more people are inspired to find analog-versions of other discrete or turn-based games, lol.
I guess a more "serious" version of analog Tetris is perhaps Tricky Towers, which is an excellent party game. https://www.trickytowers.com/ https://www.trickytowers.com/

- itcrowd 4y ago... so that's what they meant by disc golf in college!
- OisinMoran 4y agoPlease say more! Very interested in this category in general. Would love a version of basketball where the points are a continuous function of distance from the basket rather than discrete 2 & 3 pointers.
- pinguin7 4y agoI think "discretize" is the opposite of using continuous functions, if I understand correctly. They probably meant to play golf in some kind of grid system and using only a few different strengths and angles. But interestingly, most complex games have some kind of mixture of both: basket ball having discrete points, but fouls are remedied with a free shot on a continuous plane. Ice hockey, on the other hand, has only a discrete set of places where the game can continue after a foul.
- naet 4y agoTricky towers was great fun when I played it a while back.
- cassepipe 4y agoI don't get it. What's analog about this chess variant and the games you are mentioning?
