Calvinball

Calvinball is a fictional game created by cartoonist Bill Watterson in the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes." It is characterized by its ever-changing rules, which players can alter at any time, leading to chaotic and humorous gameplay. The essence of Calvinball is that it subverts traditional sports by emphasizing creativity and spontaneity over structure and competition. Players often wear distinctive costumes and use quirky equipment, emphasizing fun and imagination rather than winning. Ultimately, Calvinball represents the joy of play and the freedom of childhood, where the rules can be anything players wish them to be.
