I like abstract strategy games.

And I like blurring the line between "house rules" and "whole new game". Often this results in variations of "Disaster Capitalism - The Game" (ie, variations on Monopoly - turning it into Monopocalypse. Thanks to Hg and Xenos of #xkcd-sciencefiction for those titles)

• Badger card game - http://furry.org.au/kell/furcadia/misc.html
• Total Thermonuclear War (a pen-and-paper turn game playable anywhere (eg, sitting in queue for the new Star Wars movie))
  • No online rules found. Rules may be recovered from developer memories and put here on Thorx
• XCom tabletop board game
