Bump? Anyone have any idea?
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Have the full rules been published outside the story, like on a blog? Or even within the story, but separate, like in an appendix? Would you be able to put together and play the game without reading the story itself?
If so, I could see a case for Tabletop Games. Otherwise, I'd put it in Literature.
This brought to mind The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books. I checked some of the wicks to see how they were sorted, and they mostly went under Video Games; there was one in Literature.
I think it's fine keeping them separate on the work page itself. Like if a video game had a fully-playable Game Within a Game, I could see that being split into its own list if it had enough examples to justify it.
I'm not aware of a full rulebook having been published anywhere yet, no.

I'd wick 'em under Literature, in that case.
So I'm crosswicking Card Force Infection and I'm wondering if the examples of tropes in the in-universe card game should go in the Literature folder or the Tabletop Games folder?
It's never been published as a tabletop game, but the author does have a list of the full rules text for all the cards seen so far and enough of the game flow has been discussed in the story that one could put together and play the game, if one wanted to.
... For that matter, should tropes from the in-universe card game be separated out on the work page itself? I did it like that because I thought it looked nicer, but on reflection I'm not sure if it's the "correct" thing to do and I can't think of another game-within-a-story that's theoretically playable but not actually published like this one is to compare against.
