A hologame table was a simple table that comprised a hologram generator within a table-sized cylindrical base, with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern on the top surface.
Used in the game of Dejarik, holomonsters—full-color, three-dimensional hologram playing pieces measuring between 5 and 30 centimeters tall—would be projected on the board. The pieces all resembled creatures, real and mythic, from throughout the galaxy, including the Mantellian Savrip, Grimtaash the Molator, Ghhhk, Houjix, Ng'ok, Kintan strider, K'lor'slug, and the Monnok. These pieces, when moved by the player, acted out the moves as if specimens of their species. If the pieces were not used for a certain amount of time or the game was abandoned by both players, they would simulate boredom.
