It's interesting how the authors looked at games as ways of enhancing real-life skills (instead of purely entertainment).

For example, one post talks about using Poker to learn how to calculate odds and deal with imperfect information, which mimics real life better than a perfect information game like chess.

This sent me down the rabbit hole of looking for what types of benefits different games provide.

I found one cool paper[3] that shows first-person shooters enhance attentional capacity, distributed attention, and speed of attentional processing (even when compared to another game like Tetris).

So I wonder if you could only pick one game, what would it be and why? :P (this could be classical board games like chess or Monopoly, all the way to more modern games like Civ or a FPS)
