Glad to see that there are now games that are not competitive, and don’t involve handling fake money on Shabbos. I grew up playing chess, but gradually drifted away from it because I don’t have that killer instinct to win and I hate to lose. Maybe I should look up Settlers of Catan. We also played Monopoly, which was sort of crass, but what we really played were card games, usually variations on rummy. Even the littlest ones could play, because an older kid would help them out. Board and card games can be very inclusive for the whole family or crowd if people aim to enjoy the game, not just be the one to win.
