* ''Captain Park's Imaginary Polar Expedition'', a board game from [https://web.archive.org/web/20050205091931/http://www.cheapass.com/ Cheapass Games]. You play members of a Victorian gentleman's club, all of whom are trying to one-up each other with heroic tales of adventure. In fact, all your exploits are entirely fictitious. You've just spent the last few months hiding in a hotel and sneaking out in disguise to scavenge in junk shops for "artifacts" from your "expeditions". The aim of the game is to collect convincing sets of photographs, anecdotes, and artifacts, without being spotted and exposed as a fraud.
* In [[White Wolf]]'s [[Old World of Darkness]], [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse|the Ratkin]] have an entire caste called the Munchmausen. They specialize in exploring the Deep Umbra (the most remote parts of the spirit world), where things can get '''very''' strange, and they have the inherent ability to tell one elaborate, improbable lie each day that their audience automatically believes.
* In ''The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen,'' players take the roles of debauched European noblemen regaling other players with ridiculously exaggerated tales of derring-do. The game was written in the style of Baron Munchausen himself, and accompanied by illustrations by Gustave Dore.
