Best card game! It’s a game of memory and quick thinking. it’s like the adult version of Rat a Tat cat. There seem like a lot of rules when u start, but they quickly make sense. Play for however long or short u like, and versatile with possible number of players. Linked website has rules + explanations

It's a memory card game played with regular cards (2+ players). Each player gets four cards face down in front of them (in a little grid). The deck and discard pile rests between the players. Before the game starts everyone gets a few seconds to look at two of their cards (only two of four) and memorise them before putting them back down where they were. Then the first player picks up a card from the top of the deck and chooses to either put it in the discard pile (face up) or swap one of their four cards for it (the card they swap goes face up in the discard pile). Then the next player can choose from the deck or the top card on the discard pile, doing the same thing.
The aim of the game is to have the lowest total sum of cards in your grid. Picture cards are all worth 10 (I think).
Special Rules:
If you pick up straight from the deck (any of the following cards) and decide to immediately put it on the discard pile they may have the following effects:
7,8, look at your plate: you may look at any one of your face down cards (always putting it back face down where you found it)
9,10, look at them: you may look at any one of your opponent's cards.
Jack, Queen, blind swap: you may swap one of your cards with one of your opponents cards without looking at either of them in the process.
Black King, look and swap: you may look at any one card and swap any two.
Red King, minus one: if you have a red king in your face down cards that counts as minus one to your score, aka really good.
Aces are worth 1.
If a card is placed in the discard pile and you know you have the same number, you can slap your card on top of it and you now only have 3 cards to deal with. additionally if you know someone else has that number you can slap it down for them and then give them one of your cards, still leaving you with 3 (or less).
If you slap down the wrong card there is no punishment but now everyone knows what that card is.
If multiple people try to slap down a card, only the first one to make contact with the discard pile is permitted the slap down, everyone else must keep their cards.
if a player thinks they have the lowest number they can forfeit their turn and instead say "Cambio" which gives the other players one more turn each before they all have to reveal their cards and whomever's hand is lowest wins.
I hope I explained that well enough! I really enjoy this game, I hope you do to :}

Can be played with a normal deck of cards! (I linked the rules) Can also be played with more than two players. It’s a perfect “waiting around for food at a restaurant” game.

EXTREMELY GOATED CARD GAME
basically speed solitaire. if you know how to play solitaire you can pick it up really quickly. the directions i linked say 4+ people but 2 or 3 works totally fine
every time my dad’s side of the family gets together we play pounce and every time my aunt smokes us

So sweet to send them to thank them for your shared experience, and I’d much rather look at one of these than ten pics from that day

go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀

Eg in shower, on walks, during commute, making dinner, to go to sleep, getting dressed. be able to do all these comfortably in silence. then u can try phase them back in in a way where they actually contribute something and ur not just listening for the sake of it
