Not really a game, since there's nothing to win or lose, but maybe an interesting exercise anyway.
List every year from the year you were born to the most recently completed year (2009) and identify one significant event from each year. It can be from any part of life (politics, business, science, the arts, entertainment, sports, etc.), but it needs to be something that achieved notoriety in THAT year and sort of defines that year. Rule: you can't repeat what someone else has already listed for that year.
Now of course, if you don't want to reveal your age, you probably won't want to play this game.
