I wouldn't mind one more round of Counterfactuals for old times. Playing that game is kind of like speaking one's own special language. Kind of like we do on this message board.

Speaking of games, my son wants to know if you play Fortnite.

He said those pictures were "pretty epic". The way the teens talk these days... It's like trying to figure out the answer to Counterfactuals.

I think you're pretty Znepic.

Over the seasons the gang has played many games real and imagined. Is there one you would like to see played one last time?

I myself wouldn't mind seeing the Enchanted Bunny card played once more, mainly because I like to say Enchanted Bunny And hearing Raj say "Nooo! Not enchanted bunny!"

Come to think of it an actual BBT video game with the characters as avatars having an adventure in Pasadena and Cal Tech would be great.

Or maybe a new game specifically for the last season. For example as they might be leaving the apartment behind something Sheldon could make up on the spot for them to join in on and make the leaving less sad.

General list of games

11 made up games

Should they really be calling “Elements Letters” a BBT made up game? After all, it’s a game we played since elementary (ha-ha) school. Found this list of other names for the game (wouldn’t be surprised if there are others)…

1) Word Chain

2) Grab on Behind

3) Last and First

4) Alpha and Omega

The only difference in BBT’s is that it’s “elements” instead of, say, names/cities/states/presidents/birds/whatever. It’s still the same old, already made-up game.

My favorite was “Counter Factuals”. It was just so silly and just so Shamy, couldn’t help but enjoy it. Also, Leonard's reaction made the scene just that much more enjoyable. Too bad Shamy has come such a long way maturity-wise since then—don’t think the game would work now.

Can't think of a game on my own; so, will have to go back through the list again to see if I can find one that I think will still work with who they are now--as opposed to back then. Got do a little more .

"I'll be back".

I can totally still see them playing Counterfactuals. But who knows, maybe they'll make up a special wedding night game.

For FKA: I do think that Shamy could still play a round of Counter-Factuals as Sheldon is always up for a game and Amy is always up for an intellectual challenge.

For SF: Well Shamy already had their wedding night they need to come up with an anniversary game from now on.

One game that they can't play anymore is Emily or Cinnamon

Riding in a car with Sheldon is always either a hoot or a chore. He is always ready with a game, complaint, or fun fact.

I've got it! In the very last episode, Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Penny, Bernie and Amy could play, "Let's meet the people from TBBT message board (not that silly Reddit- our board) !" Then all the posters could be brought on stage to meet each other and we could say things like, "Wow Z! You're just as nice in-person as you are on the board!" and "Hey Erica, it's so cool to get to meet you face-to-face!" and "Lemons! You actually don't wear a straightjacket!" and (etc., etc. for all posters). And then we could all smile at the camera as it fades to black. And we'd get paid $1 million dollars each for our appearance on the show.

This sounds completely reasonable to me.

1) How about an expanded version of the "Emily or Cinnamon" game.

It would list all of Raj's partners (and Cinnamon). Each of the guys would take a turn offering up a phrase, and the rest of the gang would have to try and guess which one on the list Raj said it to--with the last category being "All The Above".

2) Wouldn't mind seeing the "Secret Agent Obstacle Chess" game again.

The guys were never athletic to begin with—can only imagine the of watching them trying to perform the maneuvers in that game—10 years after.

Good suggestions

1) A round of Every Raj Girlfriend or Cinnamon would certainly set Raj over the edge if he saw it, maybe even inspire him to finally get his neediness under control.

2) I doubt they would even make it past the first laser beam.

Unless they raise the just-above-the-floor lasers, only Howard could possible stand a chance because the rest of them have paunches now.

I think they all still look great, especially for their age.

Could say the same thing about Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock, just a variation on Rock, Paper, Scissors. But good call, although I don't remember using a name for the game in whatever variation just a connect the word game.

The "Letters" games have definitely been around a long time, with many different flavors. Including on TV, I remember seeing versions using names of musical instruments, and names of cities (in a MASH episode, for example).

I’m kind of about “…Lizard, Spock”. At least it has some add-ons, as well as and some additional rules players have to learn/remember. So, I wouldn’t argue with anyone who called it a made-up game similar to/based on….

Not so for “Elements Letters” since it has nothing new—it’s entirely the same old game played the same old way.

The only game worth playing: Dungeons & Dragons
