He wiped his hands on his robes, then scratched the tip of his nose. "Hm." A war game didn't sound so bad. Levi shot Althea an appraising look. "Would it still be a war game?" This was the part that interested him. "Would it be about who stops the war or who wins it?" He took his self inking quill and scrawled WAR GAME at the center of his parchment. "And assuming it's about winning the war, then what would they be winning?" Land? Gold?

Declan leaned back and drummed his fingers on the top of his desk. That sounded interesting enough. He was more excited about the possibility of actually executing the game than coming up with it and its rules. Would they get to charm the gameboard pieces?

"Call it The Conquest," Declan suggested. "The winner is the one who manages to force their culture on other nations on board the most, while at the same time taking their supplies, cultures, and people and claiming them as their own all along." Isn't that like something he read in Muggle Studies before?

As he looked around trying to think of any other ideas, maybe even suggestions for rules, he noticed Etta by herself at least temporarily before she was joined by a first year that Declan THOUGHT was named Rafael but he wasn't sure. Ralphie. Yeah. That ought to be right. The Sad Prefect still looked sad and Declan tried to catch Etta's attention. He wiggled his eyebrows at her and kept nodding his head in the direction of the Ravenclaw Prefect.

"Don't be dramatic," Althea chastised--which was rich coming from her. She started to jot down ideas and notes relating to the proposed game. "I think that's too in depth for a board game. But I like where you're going." It sounded extremely complicated and she thrived off of the drama. Despite how tragic war was--not that she actually knew, she'd never been a part of any war or battle or things of that nature--it was the perfect backdrop for an exciting game. Especially one that was filled with magic. The professor had been right to suggest an activity like this; it was way more interesting than talking about Quidditch.

"It can be a game of conquest. Whoever conquers the most land, or gold, or whatever we choose wins." She continued to write her thoughts as she spoke. "There can be different scenarios for each game played. You could play a game where the goal is to steal or amass the most wealth, or...you could play a game where the winner is determined by how much they dominated the other kingdoms and their armies. D'you see where I'm going with this?" The board could depict miniature landscape, marked with territories, castles, even moving animals. "Ooh, we can even make it so you start with certain conditions depending on how you roll the die."
