Inspired by passing mention of the word "ludeme" in what I thought was David Parlett's
Penguin Book of Word Games,
but which was
apparently
his
Oxford
Guide to Card Games, which I must have been reading at the same time.
The Ludemetic (or Ludemic) Game Generator
randomly combines categories and mechanics from those at
BoardGameGeek to create
new (and largely useless) game ideas, with arbitrarily appropriate
titles. It can be used as a source of random inspiration, or
laughed at once and thrown away.
