I think you might be on the right lines with Backgammon. I have always wanted to try and learn this, but never got round to studying it in depth. i think it is always better to try and learn from someone who already knows the game rather than read from a book, and i dont know anyone who plays.

Other than that there are other mind challenging games.

I happened to mention to someone how the wife and I like to play scrabble, and he turned round and said that he played scrabble with his partner. After the 4 of us had a game, we then were chatting about the game in the company of a third friend who then said he could beat us both! No-one knew that the others played the game, but seeing as we all like things like Poker and other strategy games, it shouldnt have come as too much of a surprise I guess.

I wonder if "Late night Scrabble" would hold mass appeal? perhaps it would have a better chance if the letters were drawn by nubile young women with hardly any clothes on?
