discussion As for Physical Games, what do you play if anything?

[Dragonmede]

Do you go Bowling? Do you Golf? Play Softball? Basketball? Maybe throw Darts at the local Pub?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Personally I tend to score higher in my Golf game than I do Bowling.
But I have fun anyways.

Does archery count?

Kinda cliche me being brazillian and playing football/soccer, but it is what it is

Fellow archer here. Just target archery and I shoot recurve.

Kyokushin Karate with full contact kumite (sparring, no gloves). Takes my mind off game code for 90 minutes.

I enjoy the occasional football or basketball game (not that I'm especially good at either...)

Same here. Compound feelsnlike cheating, haha.

Does chess count? If it's played with a physical board?
Other than that, I swim. And I used to play tennis, but haven't in a long time.

Disc Golf, Bowling, sometimes Tennis. Soccer and Volleyball if I can get a group together at the community center. I'm pretty good at Basketball for a filthy casual.
My family is also extremely competitive with Badminton. I used to make jokes about our ancestors playing with an actual sacrificial bird--but Grandma made me stop.

Oh, and of course there is one very physical 'game' that I like to play with my wife. In many variations and without fixed rules. :-D

And what sort of game might that be? A game without fixed rules? Are you playing Calvinball?

Not Calvin. But balls are played with, yes!

I just work out at the gym. I suck at any game involving moving objects coming toward me. My guess it was either soccer balls to the face as a goalie or the ones to the balls that did me in. Generally I also just sucked at physical games, there was a reason I was almost always defense.

I Play Billiards and Darts at the pub once in a while. Not any good at it but just for fun...

Wow, y'all really get into it.

The most physical game I play with any regularity is Beat Saber - it's easy enough to start, doesn't require scheduling with others, and of course is pretty fun at the outset as opposed to a sport with longer intervals between fun moments. That does cost the social opportunities that come with physical meetups though, so it's a mixed bag. One difficulty I've found with community things is that they often start a little bit late so that people have time after work before it starts, but then once it's over, it's too late to suggest an opportunity to go eat as a group to socialize outside of the context of the activity.
