Hmm, well... I really don't know what that third board game is under "nerd" but personally, I think it ought to be chess and "geek" should've gotten Settlers of Catan.

The third game is Trivial Pursuit. And while chess *players* may be nerds, chess *itself* is definitley geeky.

Actually I've been known to play both chess and Risk. (Though not at the same time, of course.) I wonder what that makes me...
