A Zhamaq game
Zhamaq was a Romulan board game for three players. It involved both pieces on a board and pixmit cards.

This game was identified by name at Star Trek: The Cruise's Maritime Starfleet Museum in Winter 2020. According to the placard, "The end goal of the game is to occupy all three fortress spaces on the board with at least one piece. Pieces represent common Romulan positions such as immunes, centurions, quaestors, praetors, and emperors." [1]
The game was also mentioned by Jeff Lombardi, the prop master for Star Trek: Picard, in episode 8 of The Ready Room (close up shots of the cards and board starting at 22 minutes).
Showrunner Michael Chabon also published an essay "Note on the Romulan Game of Zhamaq" where he describes it as "a game of alliances and counter-alliances, treaties and betrayals, played by three players." As a combination of "chess and bid whist," zhamaq balances strategy and psychology through gameplay on the mat along with trick-taking and bluffing with pixmit cards. The seven distinct piece types are named munifex, conicen, immunes, centurion, praetor, quaestor, and emperor. Each mat (which can be quite decorative) features stylized landmarks such as mountain ranges and rivers that impede passage as well as forts to be occupied by the players.
