I myself have been retro gaming lately. I needed something PG rated to do with my hands in a hotel room that didn't involve either a computer, or reading a book.

So I bought a pack of cards and a travel edition of Yahtzee. I've been playing Train Patience and poker solitaire with the former, and rolling the bones with the latter.

The fire alarm went off at the hotel (again). So I was able to sit in my car playing Train Patience while we all waited for the fire brigade to come.

Yahtzee turns out to be a really interesting game, a combination of chance and skill.
