Leaving out the obvious non-chesslike games such as "Age of Empires", the game with the highest branching factor that I have thought about writing an engine for would be "progressive chess" in which white gets 1 move, then black gets 2, then white gets 3, then black gets 4, then white gets 5, etc... In theory the branching factor is infinite. In practice the games never last long enough to get beyond a branching factor of 36^10 or so. more complex rules at: http://www.chessvariants.com/multimove.dir/progressive.html Angrim
