Re: Which game to play against aliens?
The answer to this is easy. Our goal is human survival so we create a game where you switch who goes first and has a very simple strategy where the person who goes first or second cannot stop the other from beating him based on the rules we created for the game. This would end in a 50/50 tie and they would leave.

lol yeah. Do we get to inteact with the aliens in the year while we are deciding our game? Like will they hang out with us? Learning about them first would have a great advantage. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, we can get them plastered on alcohol and LCD and learn all about them. Then we won't need their stinkin' technology. BTW, shouldn't this post be in Game Theory, not OOT?

It would depend completely on what we knew about the biology of the aliens. [/ QUOTE ] This was my first thought, but beyond that, there doesn't seem to be any specification that we can't make the game ludicrously stacked towards humans. So make it a beauty contest, as judged by humans, and our representatives will be Victoria's Secret models. We would own their faces off.
