Way back when? .
We would play games outside like: Kick the can, a kind of hide and seek game; Annie-aye-over (or some similar spelling), where you'd toss a ball over the cottage roof and try to tackle the person coming around the house with that ball; war games like Cowboys & Indians (hey its america ! what can I say). Other games like pulling the damn weeds, splitting and stacking the wood always took precedence. Then there was fishing!
Inside games were board games like "frustration" (a marble game with dice), card games like pinochle, hearts, kings corners and rummy. Other board games kind of came and went.

I go on Club Pogo and play games on there. I used to play chess and sports, but there's no one to play chess with anymore, and I'm too old and creaky for sports, unless you consider fishing and shooting pool sports. I used to like to play Texas Holdem Poker until the U. S. government stuck their nose into it and banned us from being able to play it. Poker Stars was a great site, and they always paid off when you won. The government couldn't have any of that because they weren't able to get any taxes out of it since Poker Stars is in Germany.

I played Monopoly and Scrabble all the time, board games, that is.
I love to go to the casino and spend the night at the slot machines.

Ludo, Sorry, Canasta, Monopoly. Later on Cluedo.
I learnt early on that I was made of marshmallow and jelly because I absolutely hated knocking somebody back to base in Sorry or Ludo and tended to pretend not to notice someone in dire economic straits had landed on my property in Monopoly!
My mother and her friends aged between 70 and 100 still play Cluedo on a regular basis!

Scrabble, Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, Snap, Boggle (similar to Scrabble).
Hope you didn't mean games like tennis, football etc. because the answer to that would be none.

Sad - no one has listed Chinese Checkers - love it. Good game for strategic thinking. We played it when we were kids and now that I am retired we play it now and then. I will teach it to my grandkids.
Must learn a few more games though.

The wife and I sometimes play chess. In the bedroom for sexy-time.
In college I loved Fictionary and was very good at it.
As a kid I loved Sardines. (In case you never heard of it: The opposite of hide-and-seek. One person hides, and the other players crowd in with him--or her!!!--one by one as they discover the hiding place.

I played Scrabble and Scattergories with my daughter. Played Sorry with my grandmother and Monopoly and Yahtzee as a teen. Still like Scrabble and would like to buy software for it, the one I got for my first computer didn't last long till it stopped working.
