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?

There are two main strategies:

  1. Play something fast-paced and frenetic. Your Overcookeds, Apex Legends's, or Fall Guys'. Brings out the banter and the comaraderie. You can't do much but focus on working together to win the day.

  2. Go slow-paced and strategy-heavy. Think Minecraft, Valheim (or whatever survival-craft-'em-up you like) or just plain poker. More conversation, cuz it's more laid-back.

Whenever I've reconnected with somebody, it's been through the first strategy initially.
