Question: How is Russion Roulette played? Do you do it until either you or your opponent is dead, or do you just spin once and if you don't die you win? If it's the latter, I'd go with that. I'm confident that I probably have a more than even chance at winning with chess, but it's hard to beat 5/6 odds of winning.
Depending on the exact rules, I might also want to pick tic-tac-toe or Connect Four (if I could start), because I'd have to be pretty stupid to lose that. Otherwise I'd probably take chess. I'm nothing special at it, but I used to be better than the rest of my school as a kid.

Other, I'd play Highest number. Whoever says the highest number wins. Being the gentleman that I am I would let them go first.
Ok ok...I used to be great at chess, but Uno would be easier.
Also I am not pleased that you called Yu-Gi-Oh a childs game but meh.
EDIT: Oh boy! I didn't see black jack there! Black Jack, definatly!!!!

I would choose Magic, the original child's card game, and throughly whoop their asses with my Legacy Elves deck and it's turn two Emrakul. Bitches.
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...
