Dunno how "complicated" you wanna go, but I've recently learned how to play cribbage. I put it like that because it does require some math (although very simple) and a little bit of poker (for points, not betting). Just trying to see how many ways you can add up to 15 both with your hand and (if it's your turn) the crib. Requires a small peg board to keep score and a deck of 52 cards. First to 121 or more wins.

The whole family plays Uno and Trouble a good bit. It's not too bad playing with two people.
We really like the completive games. I think one of the reasons we like checkers so much is because it's a little completive, if that's the best way to describe it. We love it when we block the other person in or when they run out of tiles.
I just found a box of games, I'm going to look through it and see what all is in it. Dominos is one of them. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to play or I'll look on youtube it.
I'd love some more suggestions though!

It's silly, but I still enjoy playing War. Look into Pente. It's got all you're looking for. I still have my original one with a roll up mat and pretty glass pieces. Highly recommend.

We got a giant connect 4 you can use outside. It’s a party favorite.

We also have Giant Jenga. 
My hand tremors keep me away from the original game.
I would like to start playing cribbage this winter.

Go - the game of black and white stones used to cover the board
Backgammon - two different colored stones setup on a board each having different areas on the board each needing to find their way back to home base by the roll of the dice. I learned how to build my strategy with this
Jenga - the game each person take turns removing a wooden block on your turn avoiding the tower to fall. Should tower start to fall from that wooden block there is so much time to quickly place the brick back before the entire tower collapses.
Mahjong is another fun game that can be played more than one person. It has been called Siamese Mahjong because it is played with two people so when looking on You Tube for guidance that would be the best keyword to use.
