TIL (well, technically yesterday) that there's a variant of shogi (japanese chess) played on a 36x36 board where each side has 402 pieces that move in 253 distinct ways

when you're with your buddy and you just finished a good game and then you say, "what if we lit the board on fire..."

Tenjiku Shogi, I assume. It's actually playable.
My favorite is the slightly smaller variant Chu Shogi which is quite playable and fun (if you like that kind of game.)
