My father's comment after we finally nagged him into buying the family a copy of the boardgame _Monopoly_ and playing a game:

>If I'd known you kids would get so much math practice from this I would have bought it a long time ago.

Yeah, similarly, a friend of mine's kid got really into Kerbal Space Program. That friend didn't mind his kid playing that one for long periods of time, because there's a ton of real math and physics being used, but the game is relatively fun.
