      Also board games with simple apps to help, like Planet X.

      Could do with learning some more card games. I love that you can play so much without having to buy anything new with them.

      Dice perhaps as well? But other than perudo/liars dice I can’t think of much more than yahtzee. I usually just liars dice with a set of 50 I bought a while back and any cups that are available. Failing that you could probably even use your hands.

        I heard of a solo dungeon crawler game you can play with cards called Scoundrel, need to read up on that.

        This, however, is anathema to an industry which is why you get card games that are thinly papered-over traditional playing card games with relabelled cards and slightly-altered rules. (Think Uno: the commercial wrapper around Crazy Eights.)

        There are hundreds—or even thousands—of traditional games out there, playable with simple, ubiquitous playing pieces (like poker decks, small coloured stones/markers/whatever, and simply drawn boards on paper). So if the industry collapses you can keep playing new(-to-you) games for the rest of your life without running out.

          Love letter is one I played recently that seems like it was probably based on a regular card game of some form. Skull is another, that one is so simple I wouldn’t be surprised if its origins predate modern playing cards.
