Well... it really depends on which group. Terrorists would likely be led by a calculating leader and tactician, so chess, checkers, and backgammon would be leaning less in my favor (regardless of how good I happen to be at them.) Terrorists and thieves would both be apt to cheat horribly, so the card games and battleship are completely out. The only fair chance to beat the terrorists would be pure luck in Russian Roulette (the "last resort" option).Infernai said:
Space Marines, on the other hand, are less likely to be adept at high-strategy games (that doesn't mean they don't have a chess master or strategist among their ranks, but it is less likely). They are also less likely to cheat, but far more skilled at card games (specifically blackjack/poker/whatever). Just because they are unlikely to be highly strategic doesn't mean they wouldn't be, so I would probably take my chances with the "child's card game" or Backgammon over chess or checkers. That way I can combine luck and strategy instead of pure strategy.
Thieves, like the terrorists, would be highly prone to cheating, again leaving out the card games and Battleship. They would also know how (or have on-hand) weighted (cheater's) dice, which leaves Backgammon out. It is unlikely they would be highly tactical, however, as thieves don't tend to think through their actions (relying more on guile, skill, and strength to adapt quickly), so Chess or Checkers (probably chess), would be my choice.
The short version: Don't play the game, play the player.
PS: captcha: "oration couder"... that just sounds wrong.
Russian Roulette. I am terrible at those other games, so at least with Russian Roulette I have a chance of winning. There is also the chance that all the terrorists will kill themselves with that one too...
Russian Roulette. If I'd lose THE GAME the well.. game, I will die.
If I win, I go free.
If would play one of the other games, I'd die
Bacause I suck at the other games.
And Since my life has been going pretty crappy,Lady Luck owes me some...

I choose Yugioh, it's the only game there that I have any talent at, and I would never play Russian roulette.
