Cards
Cards are a timeless classic - and for good reason. They're cheap, versatile, and entertaining.
The list of games you can both teach and play with your Old Mate is almost endless: Blackjack, Solitaire, Hearts, Bluff, Euchre, May I, Crazy Eights, Rummy, Spoons, Old Maid, Asshole, Speed, Spit, it goes on...
Cards can also be played almost anywhere at anytime, too. So rather than thinking about cards as their own activity, consider always having a deck or two around when you're with your Old Mate so they can be whipped out at any time.
Inspiration
· Wikipedia is a one stop shop of card games and their rules.
· Consider teaching your Old Mate some single player games for when you're not around.
· This is an excellent activity to combine with Old Mate Double Date.
