Was chess but life is too short to play it well over time. It's a very dynamic, addictive and absorbing game.

Go although I stink at it because its very easy to handicap so games between people of different abilities are fun.

Checkers and Chinese checkers fun because everyone can play. I can have fun playing with my disabled daughter. And, Chinese checkers can have more than 2 play.

I dont like games where you have to wait a long time for your turn. (In Chess the time flies by because you are continuously playing variations in your head.)
