&#62;&#62; At school, usually the vast majority of people is interested in games.<p>&#62;"People" or "boys" ??<p>Depends on the game.<p>In my experience <i>everyone</i> likes some kind of game. It's the rare person who can't let their hair down at least every once in a while and enjoy some meaningless structured play.<p>Sure, your wife may not like Super Mario Brothers, but I can almost guarantee that if she took a probability and statistics class or studied combinatorics that coin flipping, dice tossing, dominoes, odds-taking and card playing were major topics of discussion and about the only examples that can be used outside of pure theory that represented a simple enough model of the topic for instructional and study purposes <i>and</i> had as common of a shared experience as possible.<p>That being said, I never played many card games growing up, and when those topics were discussed I had trouble relating and thought that like your wife it made it hard to relate to. But at least I knew what it was and what the basic concepts were.<p>Similarly you <i>would</i> be very hard pressed to find anyone younger than about 30 who couldn't relate to some kind of game.
