I continue to be amazed by the sheer mass of burgeoning creativity in games these days. On itch.io, for example, there are games for seemingly everything: A game designed for two players, a human and a pet sitting in their lap; a game about brewing coffee; a game played on a cellphone lock screen… and so many more. So many wondrous ideas! It’s getting to the point where it’s easier to list things that don’t have games about them.

You’ve probably heard of what’s called “Rule 34“. Well, inspired by that, and all the creativity going on in tabletop design, I created what I call Rule 3d4:

If you can imagine a topic, then a game about it already exists, or soon will.

Getting to be pretty useful “rule”, I think.

This could also be a game in and of itself, of course: Think of a topic, then see if a game about it already exists.
