What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

I play Chess. I’ve even attended some OTB tournaments (in person, phones off, real chess pieces). Chess is a game in which you primarily play against yourself. You get better by studying it rather than playing it. This makes it low-stress. You can move the pieces without thinking, relying solely on instincts and preparation.

Unlike most phone games, an online chess game lasts minutes and is over. No need to check your armies, buy battle passes, or collect items. No dopamine releases, game loops, p2w upgrades, megaboxes. You can miss a month without chess and you won’t even notice it.

I also play Uno because I have a 5-year-old UNO master at home who insists on beating me.
