Valley of the Pharaohs, a bookshelf game from the makers of Dread Pirate. Same kind of idea ... wander around the desert, avoid the mummy, steal, er ... excavate ancient artifacts.

I was quite an avid Backgammon player, but I don't know anyone who plays any longer. I play Chess with great enthusiasm and little skill. Also don't know anyone who wants to play Chess, so mostly I have to play against my phone.

I'm too good at Trivial Pursuit, nobody wants to play with me any longer (usually devolves into a game of Me against Everybody Else on One Team, and I still win. Trivia has been a minor hobby since I was in high school.)

I very much want to learn to play Go.

I continue to have the problem of my work schedule interfering with my ability to play games like that ... although there was one very uneventful night where my cow orker and I got to play Scrabble for a couple of hours, then we switched to RummiKub (because I keep a set in my car).
