Games have been a huge part of my support bubble time this lockdown and it's been brilliant. We laugh a lot, get a bit competitive, but ultimately know that it doesn't matter. You can't be worrying about work/life/covid while you're focussing on the turn of the next card. And it's social without having to find things to talk about.

Settlers of Catan is one of my long term favourites. It's competitive, but you have to trade with each other, so you also have to co-operate a bit. Every game is very different and the strategies are not so hard that you have to spend years learning them, but not so simple that you can guarantee to win every time.

We've also been playing: Uno Flip, Monopoly Deal, the Pointless game, Trivial Pursuit, Pictureka, Boggle and Flags of the World. I do not really recommend Flags of the World.
