Games that made me Smarter

How should I pick my next game? Popularity? Ambition? Depth of mechanics? This time I choose to binge on (or at least catalog) games that increase the player's intelligence. Every planning challenge based game trains deduction & problem solving skills in some way. So, for this list, I want games that do more. For example the game trains a skill, simulates tough concept or method of problem solving. Artsy creativity, historical sims and hallmarks of culture go in different lists. Unfun edutainment has no place on any decent list.
