But I love how people are really diving back into board games, crafts, etc.

Me too! Jigsaw puzzles, too.
Pandemic silver linings.

We're playing a lot of Ticket to Ride.

My 24- year-old son and his girlfriend came for dinner last night. Afterwards, instead of disappearing into the basement to play video games, my 18-year-old suggested they go for a drive and look at Christmas lights and listen to music. GF turned to me and said, out of the blue, "Do you have any puzzles?" Lol, but actually I do! So we got out a 500 piece one and worked on it for an hour, while the boys took their drive and then came home with ice cream for all.

She sounds great! Impressed she didn't just sit in a corner starting at her phone for the hour. These stories are goals.

Our family enjoys Apples To Apples. Though we may try bingo, as PP suggested downloaded a 2021 bingo from Etsy.

Agreed! And you must be cool, too, because there were not many of past boyfriends' moms who I would have wanted to hang out with in my teens and twenties.

I've thought about these, but you can only play them once. So do you just play and then pass it along to someone else or donate it?

We passed it along to a friend. Also, for $20 I was fine with it being a 2 hr investment.
