Rare Arcverse Post Bc I'm Feelin It Lately - Tumblr Posts

In a galaxy of millions of cultures stemming from over a hundred sapient species, recreation is a vastly diverse pool of activities! Quintillions of beings across the stars spend their free time having fun in all manner of ways. Here's a brief collection of examples.

Most cultures have some form of recreational gambling, but Zaarcs are pretty fond of card games, and that fondness proved infectious to the wider galaxy. Their card set has six suites: suns, stars, moons, bolts, flames, and waves. Games played with this set include Sol-Hai (a bit like Alien Go Fish), Cerec, and Horizon Folly.

The galaxy is suffused with the Etherlink digital network and virtual games abound, but that doesn't make the real world any less appealing! Physical sports are alive and well in the modern galaxy, and particularly popular games include:

nulloball - dodgeball in zero-gravity

netrush - something vaguely like a cross between soccer, full-contact rugby, and trampoline sports

zem'hurut - a team-based martial arts competition from the Haalla Supercluster, sort of like lacrosse but with kung fu

chalban - a sport invented by the centauroid Pelmens of Dura which involves jousting and utilizes a (dull) javelin as the thrown scoring object

And of course, it wouldn't be a futuristic interstellar super-civilization without stupidly dangerous high-speed spacecraft racing! Racing is very popular among pilots and spectators alike; enough to have generated a pan-galactic aerospace expo that occurs every four cycles: the Galactic Pilot Convention. Zak is actually a minor celebrity in that circuit, and has a few awards from past conventions!
