That $20 folding board game table I grabbed off Facebook Marketplace
I was trying to get my kids off tablets during a rainy week in Seattle, and this cheap folding table with a chess grid printed on it somehow made them actually play cards and checkers for hours without a single argument. Has anyone else found a random simple thing that pulled their family away from screens way better than any expensive gadget?

Used to think I was wasting money on stuff like that, but my kids completely ignored their screens for two straight hours over a $10 deck of cards the other day. Sometimes the simplest thing wins.

That line about "two straight hours over a $10 deck of cards" really got me. What kind of card games were they playing that hooked them like that?
