#13Game of thrones board game - fun, negotiation, persuation and strategy in one package. There is variaty of strategies how to win and each requires interaction between players. The best moments were about reasoning why to everybody should ally with you instead of others.
One of the most fun board games I've played, but it does take a while and requires like five players or so.
Its grandfather in the boardgames family is Diplomacy, that can be played by 2+ people.

#18Prismata is a little known online card game with very simple rules but it's incredibly hard to master.
The community is pretty small, but active enough that you can usually find an opponent if you wait a few minutes. (But try to beat the computer first, it's hard enough!)

#19Project Euler is fun for anyone who likes logic puzzles. I enjoyed working on those problems as I was just learning to code, and some (maybe many?) can be solved without writing code.
A few friends of mine who don't have any formal math or comp sci experience have had fun on the site as well.
