I've been pretty into chess lately, and it's such a deep and wonderful game. Even if computers are better than us, there's still a huge ladder to climb between learning how the horsey moves and becoming Magnus Carlsen.

Also can't forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.
