I wouldn't. I'm like a jack of all trades. I'm good at a lot of things, but I'm not an expert at anything.

I would challenge him to a fiddle contest.

I assume Death is master of every game. I am not. I assume Death is better than me at every game, sport, activity, etc.

Therefore, the only logical choice is tic-tac-toe. It doesn't matter how "good" your opponent is, if you can see the board, you can play defensively and tie the game. This would force us into endless rematches, which is a default victory for me.

Of course, on a metaphoric level, the whole point is of course that you cannot "beat" Death, you can only delay the inevitable.
