  • Strategy favorite: Chess
  • Strategy least favorite: Tic Tac Toe
  • Chance favorite: Russian Roulette - On the upside you will never lose more tham once.
  • Chance least favorite: Bingo -So fn dull..

Honorable "not pure strategy or chance"

  • Monopoly: This game was designed to teach people that once a player gets an advantage there is no coming back and there is nothing to do, and people still play it for fun.
  • Mario Party: You either love it or hate it.

Technically, pure chance games are not games and I'm to lazy to cite this.

Strategy favorite: Root - it's rules-heavy, but each faction functions completely differently, and the art is fantastic.

Strategy blah: Axis and Allies. It's more of a history lesson than a game, and I've never heard of a game taking less than four hours.

Chance favorite: Egyptian War (goes by other names, I think). Technically it's not pure chance, but mostly (which is probably why I like it).

Chance blah: Left Center Right. The most mind-numbing experience.

For the record, Bingo isn't dull if you play it the way those older ladies do, with like 12 cards at a time. Then it's just a rush of anxiety. Still not fun, but not dull.
