This post reminded me of my childhood, and warms my heart! There is a tradition of game nights among full time travelers. At campgrounds and RV rallies you will find groups that play Uno, or Mexican Train dominoes, or any of card deck games like gin rummy or hearts. Its an easy way for new folks to meet others, new tables form up as people arrive or depart to their next adventure. Game nights like this, jam sessions on porches, gathering around a campfire or fireplace with a beverage of choice for good conversation, they have declined, but not disappeared.
The following generations have developed their own interpretations online, with scheduled video game raids and group chats, and in text while viewing live stream video. It isn't the same as the older ways, faster paced, more adrenaline, larger groups, and I think there is something lost in not having that real-world, face to face interaction, but at least camaraderie is not being completely lost. It is simply taking new form.

It is nice to know it is not lost completely. Thank you for sharing.
