I do jigsaw puzzles, more in the winter. I get a lot from resale stores. I have around 60 that I keep & rotate. The rest I sell at our sale. I do Penny Press Variety Puzzles & Word Seeks in the summertime when I can sit on our swing with furbabies.
Games, all 4 of us (my husband & I, my parents) play games when we are together. Right now our thing is Uno. But we do Dominoes (I have 18 hole!), Upwords, Fill or Bust, etc. My husband & I play computer games- Hidden Objects & right now, Word Whomp on Pogo.
What do you like to do?

I do a lot of word searches and crossword puzzles. Since COVID, I've been doing more jigsaw puzzles to help with the brain fog as well. They can be really frustrating for me, but I try my best to get through them. Since being ill, my brain has had difficulty thinking through and discerning jigsaws like it used to. Same with word search and crosswords, really.

Been awhile since I did a puzzle, I wouldn't mind doing another jigsaw puzzle.

I love jigsaw puzzles and board games. I enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles with beautiful scenes. I usually don't buy them second hand for the fear of them not being complete. It's always a devastating feeling when that happens! I love playing games like Monopoly, Clue, and Scrabble. I also enjoy chess.

Same as Sharon. I like jigsaw puzzles and I love board games. It's a great way to just relax and have fun with your family or friends. Monopoly is the best board game for me because of the fact that it requires you to be tactical and controversial

I used to do puzzles all the time when I was younger, but space and time are at a premium, so I really have nowhere to do them now except the floor. I also think the last puzzle I tried to do was a 3D magic motion shark puzzle (the kind where the image shifts depending on how you look at it) and that one was so confounding it may have just broke me of wanting to do puzzles. 
Most of what I do is solo play, so solitaire and sudoku are fun for me.

Talking about games, I really want to learn how to play poker and Uno. Both games are quite popular so it seems to be a useful skill if you're good at it.

Yeah, I'll have to give that a try. I have also played some online poker games on my phone but it involves me just randomly increasing the bet and always going all out without knowing what I'm doing. |

When it comes to Poker I only know how to play Texas Hold 'em and even then I require a cheat sheet to know what hands beat what. lol

My mom and I always had a puzzle out on the dining room table when I was growing up. She would get upset if I worked on it too much!
My husband won't play any games anymore but we did when we dated as teenagers and still have some of those old games! He loved Monopoly! I'm not competitive so I didn't care if I won or lost. My husband always wanted to win and hated when I wouldn't sell Park Place to him. My daughter is the same way. I miss playing games. Are there any really good ones anymore?

They did away with those and now you have to use an app which is fine... but the extra step has caused me to no longer play. |

Yeah, I miss the old Facebook games. I never played Texas Hold Em because I was too young back then but I used to love playing this game called Car Town. There was a farming based game as well which was great. It's a shame that you can't play them anymore  |

Yes of course, I so much love and appreciate playing puzzle video games. One of my favorite puzzle games is Tomb Raider series.

I like puzzles a lot. Like those word puzzles and the puzzles specific to the various small things where we get to solve the options. I feel having such type of the practice of solving puzzles can be a good thing. I don't know if there is any other good process for doing puzzles or so.

I've started to get into chess of late if it counts, can be pretty fun.
