Card Games Versus Computer Games
Hello Friends,
Here I am Lucia again trying to find a good and virtuous topic to inscribe and share on my blog.
So the topic for today is "Card Games Vs Computer Games".
Memories go back to learning to play games like euchre and 500 as children and the hours we spent doing the same as we grew up. The fascination that this had for me was like a lesson in mathematics every time we played. Later, when in college, many of the students gathered around the tables in the students' rooms and the cards were always on the agenda.
The fun we all had and the challenges were exciting. Now, however, there is almost no one playing cards because the computer and Xbox games have taken over in many homes. My young grandchildren spend hours in front of the television with a joystick in hand doing things that have no intellectual advantage. Even adults enjoy things they can do on a computer instead of at a table with the family.
In recent years, my efforts have been extended to Bridge and also playing 500 in the local clubs, which have sessions on the nights of the week. It is interesting to see how many of the veterans, like me, enjoy the night and how competitive those efforts can be.
The brain needs stimulation as we get older and there is no better way to exercise it than having to think about how to win in a card game. Is not that something that young people will also benefit from? While my generation grew up in a different world where television and computers had not yet been invented, my children now think they are smarter because they can outdo me on the computer. If they knew what they are missing.

Do not despair Lucia, there is a huge revival of tabletop games (card games as well), especially among younger people.
It seems that many of the young think exactly as you do. Computers cannot take place of actually sitting down with your friends and sharing food, drinks and emotions.
However, older games using traditional cards such as Bridge and Euchre have fallen out of style. Today there are many new "designer" games which exhibit a great variety in how they're played. Maybe you should ask your children and grandchildren if they are aware of any?
If not, I'd suggest you get one of the modern classics such as Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride or even Exploding Kittens... and you might even introduce them to your regular card playing group. It is always fun trying new things, is it not?
Here is a decent selection of some newcomer-friendly modern tabletop games:
