Dejarik
a holographic game played on a circular board with holographic pieces, dejarik was one of the oldest and most popular games ever created in the galaxy. It was believed that dejarik originated as a game played by the ancient Jedi Order, as an educational tool that taught players to consider the entire board, rather than a single gamepiece, when planning their actions. In this way, Jedi could train their minds to seek out all information on a given situation before acting. Chewbacca had a dejarik table on board the Millennium Falcon, and was considered something of a master player. The exact origins of dejarik have been lost in time, and scholars and historians continue to argue over them. Dejarik was sometimes referred to as holochess, although the two games had different styles of play.
