I got a perfect result (probably my favorite game), so I kind of had to put this one up. No idea how it could have pegged me.

Go
(39% skill, 62% strategy, and 25% randomness)
[ Dislikes Skill | Loves strategy | Dislikes Randomness ]

You're Go! In your ideal game, turns take several minutes, or maybe the amount of strategizing is limited by a clock. But none of this checkers nonsense... you want a real thinking man's (or woman's) game! You likely enjoyed logic puzzles when you were younger, and you would probably have been a grandmaster at some respectable board game or another if you weren't so lazy.

Checkers
(43% skill, 52% strategy, and 38% randomness)
[ Dislikes Skill | Tolerates strategy | Dislikes Randomness ]

You're checkers! You're not exactly a chess champion, but who is? Regardless, your main interest in a game is what's going on underneath. You like to think a bit before making your "move" in a game, and you're likely only to allow randomness in deciding who goes first.

My score on The What Game Are You Test:

**************************************

Cribbage
((29% skill, 45% strategy, and 66% randomness))

"[ Dislikes Skill | Tolerates strategy | Loves Randomness ]

You're Cribbage! A bit of strategy keeps the mind active, but when it comes right down to it, it all depends on who has the cards. You really don't mind if your opponents destroy you just from luck, and in fact you keep track of such events in a little book for future reference. Not that you don't enjoy drawing a little four-of-a-kind yourself, though...

Take it!

Yeah, because there's nothing in GTA like shooting, or anything. :roll:

I was wondering about the low randomness score though. Most of the games that I really like (with a few notable exceptions - including Go) actually have a lot of randomness built in - they just tend to be complicated enough that the chance element is fun.

Slot Machines

[ Dislikes Skill | Dislikes strategy | Loves Randomness ]

You're the slots! Let it ride! When it comes to the luck o' the draw, you're ready to see it! Your friendly competitions are likely not to cause much of a ruckus, since the outcomes are almost entirely random... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put twenty nickels on it.

I got Beer Pong because I don`t like games of skill, randomness or anything at all competitive ... but I don`t like Beer either ....
My favorite game is `last one to post`on WP! haha!

Yahtzee!
(39% skill, 33% strategy, and 55% randomness)
[ Dislikes Skill | Dislikes strategy | Tolerates Randomness ]

You're Yahtzee! You seem to dislike games of skill, and you don't want to do anything involving analysis of your position. "That's the way the cookie crumbles," though, when you roll snake eyes and the game's over. You're fairly tolerant of random elements in competition, but you don't want them running rampant.

The opening graphic hurt my eyes. Therefore, I go with my original preference of Scrabble.
