You can play mahjong, domino or cards (🀕, 🁓, 🃅) but not chess, you can show some random glyphs like ⏱ or ⤪ but not others, you can use box-drawing characters (┐) but not block elements, you can use byzantine musical notation (𝈙) but only western musical symbols (𝅗𝅥) and the notes are banned, you can Z̸̠̽a̷͍̟̱͔͛͘̚ĺ̸͎̌̄̌g̷͓͈̗̓͌̏̉o̴̢̺̹̕ just fine.
