"Domino’s "

Love it it's just scoring by adding multiples of 5 based on the outside dots of the dominoes..

To play you must match any fits but try to avoid setting your opponent up for the multiples of 5s to be had.

You don't really need maths for sudoku. If you felt like it, you could use letters instead. Mostly, it's a process of elimination.

Understand most sports. Watching rugby in pub where people don’t know the offside or kicking for touch is annoying.

Board Games, I’ll admit monopoly I like playing but wouldn’t know how to win

Cards, I’d like to understand baccarat in a casino. Can play poker but that is a level up (also a James Bond thing)
