My wife was being groomed for the Ivy League so she had virtually no exposure to games or TV growing up. It doesn't matter what we play, even shit like scrabble, she *never* wins, she just can't pick it up as quickly as I can or understand whatever 'meta' underlies the game. And she's generally more intelligent than I am.
There's definitely something about playing games from a young age that enhances some forms of abstract reasoning, you can tell when someone has 'gamer brain'.

My dad does this in reverse with cornhole. He is 71 and completely dominates every time he plays. It's uncanny.
