Today I'd like to post some of my favorite board games. The order is alphabetically. All games have in common that they require a strategy to win instead of relying on luck.
Abalone
Is a real nice board game composed of two sets of marbles. I got this game long time ago from my parents as a birthday present and now after at least 10 years I still play it. It's fascinating and like the other games mentioned here, it can be found in Android and iPhone App stores. It's one of those games that don't disappear.
Mastermind
To win this game, you have to guess a code your opponent composed out of several differently colored pins. Your game partner grades your guesses and you can reason which pin is at the right position and which color is in the target code.
Go
This ancient board game has its roots in China. What I really like is that it doesn't require a long introduction into the gameplay because of its simple rules. Nevertheless, it's extremely challenging and up to now I don't know any program that can compete with a professional go player.
