The Challenge:

Stephen must find five non-classic games that we would enjoy and be able to play when we are 80 years old.
 

A perfect score! Stephen keeps his title for another week.

Next week's challenge:

Dave must find five non-classic games that he can teach to non-English speakers. They must be able to learn the game and play well. No team games allowed and at least one game must be multi-player.

Errata

The other games in the Gipf series are Tamsk, and Dvonn.  I'm sure there are more goofs in there somewhere. Let us know if (when?) you find one!
