I second Thud! Unmatched chess-style games sound awesome.

Fairly sure the rules for Thud are in Thud...
Now the strategy of the game is more difficult.
Cripple Mr Onion would be a fun one...

Seal up your lips and give no words but mum.

Watch for Gerry.
I think that there's whole websites about the game too.

My recollection of Quidditch is that capturing the Snitch was the end-condition of the game, not necessarily the win-condition, but it did give the previously mentioned 150 pts, meaning that the team that captured the snitch was the likely victor (otherwise they would have to be pretty dumb to try to catch the damned thing knowing they would lose).
Seconding Pyramid from BSG.
Also Sabacc and 3D Chess.
Anyone for a game of "Ultimate Fireball" from Friends?
Yu-Gi-Oh with those arm holoprojector things would be cool... (even if the game itself is dumb as hell)
OH, and how could I forget? The REAL Jumanji!!!

Given that catching the snitch grants automatic victory regardless of score I’d just put all my players into catching it and forget trying to score, even defend my own goal. I reckon that would probably pay off more often than not.
Catching the snitch is not always an automatic victory, as seen in the 422nd Qudditch World Cup when Bulgaria captured the snitch but lost to Irleland by ten points.
I'd be careful playing a gambling game against Han Solo, i reckon he cheats. Not to mention he's probably gonna have a blaster aimed at your goolies (or Alien equivalent).

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

And not a fictional game but a real game about something real but based on a fictional race - Klingon Boggle! - played, but not created, I don't think, in Big Bang Theory

Though guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.

And, if I recall correctly (from my 'essential guide to starwars droids' which features a robotic sabaac dealer) it's also possible (due to the cards being holograms) for the cards to change suit and value throughout the game...

The official rules are on the net, I'm yet to find anyone to play it with though, mainly because it requires 2 decks with different pictures but identical backs (or a rare and expensive custom-made deck), plus the rules change depending on which optional add-ins you decide to use...
And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!
