These are games that the components can all be submerged underwater and the pieces will not be ruined. I am not talking about games that are home made specifically to be played underwater, but games that can be bought from the store.

I'd say underwater is a perfectly reasonably alternative way to play the Ungame, as opposed to the method pictured here!

Yes, this really is what I looked like when I uploaded that avatar. Not that it's quite current anymore.

Or so claims a commercial undersea welding inspector I know.

Play the dice game Mia and you don't need a score sheet -- just use coins or other tokens to keep track of "lives".

The boxed set is out of print, but the standard components for making this game (pyramids from Treehouse sets and gaming stones) are waterproof. Using the Zendo cards might be problematic, but those are optional anyway.

Of course if you're underwater you probably want to break the ice as quickly as possible.

I've actually tried this and it doesn't work because the monkeys semi-float.

I read in a monopoly book that there were a couple guys who played it underwater. I don't recall if it was special pieces or under a dome or what.

But since I'm not a fan of monopoly I didn't really want to add it to the list

Not having seen this list I created my own with almost the same title (an hour ago) that was basically the same (I have deleted it since). What's rather interesting is the fact that while this list got quite active in the past one hour, my list got 6 new entries BEFORE going active...Strange things happen.
