It's a matter of opinion, obviously.

However, if anyone posts here saying "yes, absolutely", what are they doing on this site?

Japanese chess, shogi, is the least suckiest of the bunch.  Try it.  it is very fun.  The chess problems, called "tsume" are also less sucky to solve.

Thanks! I like shogi (I suck at it, though).

Then you can suck at a less sucky game than chess.  We might be able to start a sucky tournament, and the suckiest player wins.

That would be weird (but funny).
