My favorite game in this regard is Magic: The Gathering.  Certainly,
a more advanced player is going to play smarter and have more
interesting cards to choose from, but it's not uncommon to see a new
player win one from time to time using lightning bolts, black
rituals and other common cards.  The fact that the game is a nice
balance of luck and skill helps make that end acceptable for all
players.
