"Well, I guess that depends on if I can recreate a game from home or if I try to create something original," Sam mused, looking at the pieces himself. He probably should have thought of what specific game he was trying to create, but some of the first that popped in his head would be too complicated with limited paper and no method for counting spaces. He could probably take the time to carve some crude dice or maybe a spinner would be easier -- though the real question would be how to differentiate the board pieces. "I never created a board game before, so I was pretty much leaning towards recreating a game."

"I ruled out chess because that would take too much carving and we don't exactly have paint," he paused, studying his pile of odds and ends, "I guess I could technically carve the letters into the pieces." He picks up one of the small, smooth pebbles he'd picked up on a recent walk, "I guess a mancala board wouldn't be hard to make." He looked back to the young man, "You ever play that? Or know any games that might be easy to make from random bits? I'm open to suggestions."
