I love soccer game like FIFA moreover I like to play some tycoon games like : City of Rome, Age of Empire, Railroad, Cities in Motion etc.
I love to play Go Fish with my kids. Its great because they get a kick out of it and it keeps them entertained.
I like to play ''Carrom board'', it is a fun indoor game, but only one problem with that, if you are playing alone then no fun.
I sat down to watch Wil Wheaton's web show "Tabletop" on my computer the other day. You would think that watching people play board games would be BORING... But the way it is done is amazing. They play games you've never heard of, like Pandemic Extended, Dragon Age, Last Night on Earth... Wow! what an interesting premise. Here's a link to the Last Night on Earth game. If you like board games, you will be hooked on this series. Let me know your thoughts -- hope you LIKE my post.
I agree chess is hands down the best game. If you win it's you fault as well as if you loose it's your fault. I'm so competitive that luck game drive me crazy.
Haven't played chess for years. There is a card game "Chests", you need at least 3 persons to play, this game can improve your attention and ability to concentrate,
One of my favorite indoor games is table tennis or ping pong. My two favorite board games are chess and Monopoly.
