Several members of my family are Mah Jong mavens (and seem to win every time). Sometimes I play Mah Jong (which now comes Standard), but only when I want to be frustrated and unhappy… I have the durndest time defeating that thing. From what I understand, chess is rather popular right now. I am particularly pleased with the inclusion of a chess game (I have been playing chess since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and, no, I’m not very good).
