Depending on your definition of "game", there's also captchas.


... and Spin The Bottle!


Captchas are (like Go and the other games) a legit information processing distinguisher between humans and computers; unlike spin the bottle, it's not just an issue of having the right peripherals or social standing.

(I know you were probably joking; this is just in case anyone gets the idea that the "captcha game" is just as trivial in this respect as spin-the-bottle.)


Certainly the case. I was obviously joking, but thank you for making this distinction more salient - it deserves to be.


You clearly have outdated software, my computer is a pro at that one.
