It’s nice to be the one in the friend group who always has a game planned. I keep one deck in my purse and one on my car. Then have some quick games that are easy to teach. I suggest: Six Card Golf
Garbage
Bullshit
Presidents and Assholes
head to the pub with a deck of cards and a limited social battery and your spirits will be lifted. you don’t have to talk, just easy silent companionship. feels liberating to be ambience for other people’s conversations even better when playing offbeat card games that confuse the other patrons - i.e. italian card game SCOPA which is super fun, easy to learn and has funky suites
