Are there Shipmates who like to play games such as chess, checkers, bridge, or go? Are there comments about how such games are different or similar? (Of course, we have Caissia, so we must have at least one chess player.)
Games like chess, checkers, and go are complete information games - at all times, both players can see the complete state of play.
By contrast, games like bridge and poker are based on incomplete information - players must infer what other players hold based on how they play, and account for multiple possibilities.
I'm trying to get the hang of Backgammon but as my regular opponent is someone who has played since a toddler its a series of utter defeats at the moment.

I played that a lot in college (graduated 41 years ago), but I don’t think I’ve played it since.
Does anyone else here ever play Mao? Much better to play it with at least one person who’s never played it before, preferably more than one, but it can still be fun just with people who have played it before.

I learned (better to say was initiated into) Mao on a high school trip to Italy.
I haven't played Mao since college. I used to play Backgammon a bit, although I never was very good. We used to play for 10p a point in the college bar, so it wasn't too expensive!
