This is a list of fictional games, that is games featured in works of fiction that do not exist outside the fiction. Games such as Star Trek's three-dimensional chess or Discworld's Thud do not count as they have a real existence. However, many fictional games have been "translated" to the real world by fans or ludophiles by creating pieces and rules to fit the descriptions given in the source work. For example, Fizzbin can be found (albeit unofficially) in reality, and Mornington Crescent is widely played in online forums. As such, real-world games that began as fictional devices will still be listed here.
