D&D is an absolute blast. Just ran a campaign on zoom during pandemic, my first time playing.

Basically an open world roleplaying game where you can attempt to do basically anything. The Dungeon Master runs the game and instructs you on what you need to roll to succeed.

You meet an old man in the bar. You could talk to him, attack him, attempt to pickpocket him, whatever. When you declare your action the DM sets a difficulty bar and you roll for it. Same in combat, you have to roll for attacks etc.

The random chance makes it awesome. A shitty plan can work with some great rolls and a great plan might fail with some bad ones. Like life.

Already thinking of the possibilities in my head. "You enter the riverbank and hear a hideous noise. Your best guess is that it's a gurgling fart. As you approach, you see him; Scommer the Troll Thief. How do you proceed?"

Both kids have been really into Pokemon for a year. We have tons of cards - I don't really get it, but they seem to enjoy battling.

I wasn't getting it at all until Scommer farted, now I can picture the whole scene

Little did I know that one of my best buds is pretty big into MTG. We both started playing the digital version (MTG Arena) at the same time and we're hooked. Much more convenient and faster to play the video game than the original card game.

There are world championships of this shiz. Unreal.

World of Warcraft Hearthstone is fun too. It's crazy quick and there's tons of layers of play/strategy.
