What are some good/short games that could test ones ability?

Question

What I mean is take for example:

arm wrestling, two people battling physical strength

What are some other games, that are short sweet and up to the point. Not games of proability like paper rock scissors. Game of skills.

Also no gambling type things like blackjack.

I mean something REALLY fast...

Not board games, they take to long. Russian roulette was the closest to what I wanted, but it has the potential to kill and is also a probability game.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what your definition of "skill" is. there is skill involved in rock paper scissors. just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. my wife clobbers me in RPS. i've won 1 out of like 20.

Also, for the other games you mentioned, it sounds like agility and strength are more important than skill.

Answer 2

Thumb wrestling, mercy (or uncle or whatever), bloody knuckles... hm....
