replays only for me:
1830
Adam Stevens' Monopoly
various solitaire games from SolMenu and Solitaire's Journey

TL;DR

1830 - SimTex's DOS version of the board game; I enjoy many 
of the mechanics of this game (auction, playing in the stock 
market, building train routes, buying trains, etc. (all with 
perfect info)) and have come back to it many times over the 
years.

-----------

Adam Stevens' Monopoly - I set each player's starting cash 
to $700 and play against 3 customized "AIs".  The limited 
cash tends to balance the lottery-like aspect of who lands 
on unowned properties more and who lands on them less.

I.e. if you land on too many unowned properties to quickly, 
you will soon run out of money.  At that point other players 
can often outbid you when the property is auctioned.

This pgm keeps detailed stats on which properties the 
players landed on, how much rent was paid, how much each 
player "wants" other players' properties, etc.

The "AIs" are smart enough that they sometimes engineer a 
series of trades that give sets to three players.

----------

SolMenu - Karl Meadows' suites (5 games in each) of DOS 
solitaire games; The games have an intelligently designed 
interface that allows you to play the games with just one 
finger (if you want to).
