Pooh Sticks and other Fictional Games

The World Pooh Sticks Competition, in case you wondered, is only a few weeks away - March 29 is the day.

According to Wikipedia, Pooh Sticks is "A game for two players or more, in the traditional version of poohsticks the participants must drop a stick simultaneously on the upstream side of a bridge and run to the other side. The winner is the player whose stick first appears on the other side of the bridge."

The game of Pooh Sticks is one of an apparently significant plenitude of Fictional Games, included amongst which can be found Calvin Ball, Brockian Ultra-Cricket and, of couse, Quantum Soccer.

All of which is to say that if you want to create a new game, inspiration awaits.
