I beleive that RPGs, or role-playing games, beat both board games and computer games. All yu need is dice--no silly phony money, cards, consoles, keyboards, or other accessories. No, Just dice and one's imagination. I run a game based in my own imagainary world called the Amyverse. My rules, I make 'em up. What could be more fun for an egomaniac?

You need dice? Any true role-player has no need for them winkeye Check out Amber : The Diceless Roleplaying System for the ultimate roleplaying game, where the tumbling of regular polyhedrons will not effect the story, only your roleplaying smiley Hmmm, guess who is a regular poor thrower of dice? Until later....

Oh, I've played sans dice. I'm not huge fan of Amber though. I'm more found on making up my own systems. [I hate learning other people's rules. Stubborn.] Lately, I've been marking up the blank cards from an old Illuminati deck with quotations that fortell the players' fates.
