"She's taken to challenging visitors to the game of firepath. A stimulating pastime, but the risk of incineration is high."
―DuQuosenne's protocol droid[1]

Firepath was a type of classical game.[2] The game could evolve a high risk of incineration. The J'feh senator Nadrian DuQuosenne often challenged her visitors to games of Firepath, a pastime which fellow Imperial senator Ta'am Khlaides thought of as her attempting to murder them.[1] The protocol droid 0-0-0 was more familiar with Firepath than the game Dejarik, a fact which came up when the Wookiee Krrsantan challenged the droid to a game of the latter aboard the Ark Angel[2] in 0 ABY.[3]
