What are the best games for connecting with old childhood friends (casual gamers) that have drifted apart? (beehaw.org)

Like we're not triple-A machine possessors at this point. A friend and I played in the era of the original Age of Empires, and StarCraft; Worms, and Dune. We were core SNES-PS2 era. We were never the ultra competitive hotkey speed run strategy types, but just played for fun.

Anyone out there in your late 30s to early 40s that have managed to connect to old friends despite long distances, what are you playing now?

Light hearted easy games that I would play would be things like:

  • Overcooked
  • Stardew Valley
  • Castle Crashers
  • Fall Guys
  • Crystal Crisis

My reasoning would be that they're mostly (other than Stardew Valley) are quick and easy games. Not knowing what the other person is really into any more, it might be just an easy way to dip toes into the water.

Mobile games wise, while I don't play many, I would recommend:

  • Kitty Letter
  • Exploding Kittens
