I can't suggest any specific games, but why not just get a game that
supports hot seat play, and then just zip the saved game file and send it
to the next person?  As I said, I can't help with any specific games, but
it has to expand your options.  Know that I think of it, you could do it
this way with say Masters of Orion II for eg.
