Backgammon
Backgammon is an old, very popular board game of both skill and chance (dice rolling). It often involves betting and is especially popular in countries of Near East such as Egypt, Syria etc. (where it is kind of what chess is to our western world or what shogi and go are to Asia). Similarly to chess, go, shogi and other traditional board games backgammon is considered by us to be one of the best games as it is owned by no one, highly free, cheap, simple yet deep and entertaining and can be played even without a computer, just with a bunch of rocks; compared to the other mentioned board games backgammon is unique by involving an element of chance and being only played on 1 dimensional board; it is also relatively simple and therefore noob-friendly and possibly more relaxed (if you lose you can just blame it on rolling bad numbers).
