Showerthought: Found out people actually play the fake board games from TV shows

I was digging through BoardGameGeek and stumbled on a stat that over 500 people have rated the "Mystery Date" game from that 90s sitcom. Turns out there's a whole subcommunity of folks who replicate fictional games from shows and movies. Has anyone else looked up their favorite fake game and found it's a real thing?

Wait I swear I read somewhere that someone actually made the "Pai Sho" tiles from Avatar and they play it like a real strategy game? That's kind of wild but also weirdly impressive people put that much effort into recreating fake games.

People will put more effort into fake stuff than real life sometimes.
