which classic strategy games do you play?
Since I play many classic strategy games, I want to know what other strategy games you play.

I gave up chess when I discovered bridge - although I would not describe it as 'Strategy' - played Backgammon for years.

I used to play some fairly serious bridge in my single days, and I've dabbled in the other three. Nowadays I'm more likely to be playing Pokemon Monopoly, Mousetrap, or Mille Bournes with my kids.

I used to play Diplomacy (board game), but have too few opponents for it anymore.
I dabbled in chess, and will soon be teaching checkers to my daughter  .
Backgammon requires less strategy, but has always been fun.
I played bridge once, would like to learn it again someday. Cribbage is the card game of our home.

I used to play chess quite well... now I've grown too mentally lazy to play 
Euchre is about as strategic a game as I play now. Plus, it provides ample opportunity to verbally abuse your partner and opponents... that just doesn't work as well in chess.

When I was young, my father and I built our own version of the 3D chessboard you see on Star Trek. (I made him, actually, as he had no desire to learn to play.) I never had much chance to use it, and the poor thing was lost in one move or another. I've found myself gravitating back to 3D chess over the last few months. I say gravitating...I mean more like dropping from a 50 story building onto sharp rocks. Yes, it does take some getting used to.
