Do you know any game (video or board game, singleplayer or multiplayer, for adults or kids, I'm interested in all) that makes good use of rationality skills, and train them ?
For example, we could imagine a "Trivial Pursuit" game in which you give your answer, and how confident you're in it. If you're confident in it, you earn more if you're right, but you lose more if you're wrong.
Role-playing games do teach quite some on probabilities, it helps "feel" what is a 1% chance, or what it means to have higher expectancy but higher deviation. Card games like poker probably do too, even if I never played much poker.
Settlers of Catan isn't a rationality game, but it's great for teaching economics. I play Catan with my little brothers and it has helped them understand concepts like comparative advantage, supply and demand, cartels, opportunity cost, time value of money, and derivatives markets. Just make sure you play with everyone showing what resource cards they have, instead of keeping their resource cards hidden. More interesting trades that way.
