Games of War
These are games where, in times of peace, different people set up "factions" and raise armies. They then leads these armies into battle against each other, in a form of bloody and painful infighting that causes many to die. It is a form of civil war, but without any chance of actual war breaking out. This does have a practical purpose. The best way to find out your weakness is to fight yourself. This hones a military's ability to fight.

Jikerts
A Strategy game played by many people in Nikkin, it consists of 32 pieces on each side. (64 total) The goal of the game is to take all 3 of your enemies home bases, which are located on their end of the 8 sided board. You can alter the board in any manner you want, creating natural obstacles as well as constructed ones like walls and buildings. Each side gets a number of soldiers, and has to take the three enemy bases while protecting their own three bases. Once the three bases have been taken, you then take the enemy capitol, which is in the extreme their side of the board. It is well defended, and allows them to revive 50% of their army, all in the base. There is a 2 turn delay for reactions, that is, if your enemy pulls a fast one, you can't react for 2 turns. The game is known as "A Magnificent strategy game you just can't stop playing!" and is one of the best games in the world, according to many Nikkin Citizens. ==Gladiator Battles= The Gladiatorial Games are just as brutal and blood filled as you would expect, with Niol fights (Niols are a type of reptilian predator that can rip apart most anyone in their path), Mock battles, fights to the death, and even tournaments and less violent games for the younger generations. Just like to note, with our technologies we can revive the dead, so technically no one actually dies forever, but their time dead is determined by how well they did in the battle

Niol Fights
Imagine a large, quadrupedal lizard, but about 9 feet long and fast as a bird. Got that? Now give it razor sharp teeth, a bad attitude, and one hell of bite. Thats a Niol. The Niol fights always end with either the Niol dead or the Gladiator dead, or both. Brutal, bloody, and very fun to watch.
