Pros

  • 2-player board games such as Chess or Patchwork.
  • chess IS better than 99% of the games released the last 5 years.
  • Try a bit of Chess too :3! I was 3 when I was introduced to that amazing game
  • Chess and a deck of cards.
  • In fact, yes! When I was doing the last two sections, I started using chess.com too. My ELO is stable around 900 now, according to this website

Cons

  • Other than that the actual answer is probably chess.
  • I tend to go easy on new players, but I offered a friend a handicap in chess once or twice and they replied, "Play against me like you would any other man."

  • I’d much rather sit down to Pinochle than Chess, where information unfolding over time provides surprises.
  • They like strategy games like: catan, monopoly, monopoly cheaters, monopoly cards, chess and go.
