I'm curious if anybody ever thought of an RPG-like thing with main
characters (roles, units, or whatever) being (con)cultures (and
conlangs) rather than individual people.

What do the RPG experts on this list think? Can a set of rules be
developed to make the game worth trying?

(I think the aims should be a bit special: just having fun while
developing a few elaborated conlangs/concultures interacting over
many centures or millennia, rather than conquering anything/reaching
anywhere etc.)
