Board games I want on XBLA

I really want to see some good board / puzzle games on XBLA. The action/arcade games are fine but no offense Microsoft, you need to appeal across the board to casual players as well as arcade game players.

1 - Chess
1a - Battle Chess



Either or even both types of the game is something I want to see. There are plenty of top notch Chess systems on the PC, such as Chessmaster or Kasparov's Chess. Tying them in with FIDE rankings would be a bonus.

2 - Trivial Pursuit

TP has to be one of the best games out there for parties that is not electronic. Almost a perfect XBL Vision game as well, but so far there has only been a rumor of a TP game coming.




3 - Scrabble

I love scrabble, I am a scrabble fiend and could easily play for days if the people I am playing against are educated (sounds bad to say that, but when you play against people who put an S behind something to get a word.. it sucks)




4 -  World  of  Warcraft or Magic Gathering card games

Very popular and fun. But no card battle game on the Xbox yet. This would be a gold mine for DLC.

I want to see Hardwood Euchre ported. Sequence would be nice. Sorry, Trouble, Mouse Trap, etc... I am thinking of making a Euchre and Cribbage in XNA.

Just about any kind of boardgame would be nice, like Game of Life for instance. Just the ability to play some easy going games with people from around the world without it involving running around for teh headshot will be aces, imo.

Falelorn, anytime you want to go at chess, let me know. I have a board at home that sits fallow cause neither my girl nor any of my friends play. Been a while, but I used to play nightly with my dad growing up. Love the game!
