Abstracts are the least popular genre among games.
Combinatorials are the least popular subclass of abstracts.
Impartials are the least popular subclass of combinatorials.
This brings us to Black Narrows. Against all odds, it somehow manages to be engaging and entertaining.
Both players are Black, and only black stones are played. The rule sheet with diagrams can explain it better than I can here, but basically every pair of stones has to be connected by an orthogonal path of empty points, of length at least 1. Last move wins.
