Checkers traditionally does... but that's not a good example.

The entire Icehouse set of games. https://www.looneylabs.com/rules/icehouse (see especially Zendo - https://www.icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Zendo )

There's a genera of games that I'm quite fond of. Pueblo https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3228/pueblo and Aztec https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1071/aztec are two of the ones that I'm most fond of in that because of the abstractness. I've also got a first edition Santorini somewhere ( https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/194655/santorini ). Cityscape is another one that I'm quite fond of ( https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4980/cityscape ).

These aren't necessarily games that "everyone knows" - but it is a very rich subset of games with a lot of interesting entries.
