Plus The Royal Game of Ur; possibly the oldest board game in human history. There are online versions and it is actually quite fun to play.

 

My dad gave me this game as a Christmas present over 50 years ago. Loved playing it as a kid. Now I've been reminded of the rules,  just need to find some willing partners.  Thanks for putting this up Futtocks, made my day

There are a few online versions, so you can play against the computer or online or invite a friend/enemy.

Got to be handball. What a strange sport enjoyed by strange people.

I tell you, the only thing weirder than the sport itself is if there were to be an enthusiast of the sport hailing from a country with little history of it! But thankfully no such person exists.
