Super happy I ordered a copy of "Pyramid arcade" from Looney Labs before this quarantine business started. It has a lot of interesting two-player games to keep me and my wife from going crazy.
FYI: most of the included games are available online and could be played with bits of things available around the average house.

Fast forward to New Year's Eve 2029. Everybody is writing their top 10 memories of the decade on whatever medium has replaced blogs and social networking as we know it. Everyone who is still alive laughs and relives the memories of dancing to the coronavirus song during self-quarantine. Children born in the winter of 2020-2021 cringe as their parents recount their memories of being cooped up together.
