Paper and pencil games are games that can be played solely with pencil and paper. Some paper and pencil games (e.g. Gomoku) are abstract strategy games, which are equally well suited to playing as a board game - in this case the defining characteristic will be that once played a piece will not be moved on the board or removed from the board. Others are uniquely suitable for paper and pencil play (e.g. Eat Poop You Cat).
