The Times of London and Wizard courtesy of Tim Burton

 
The Times of London has a story about board and card games. I have a subscription and have posted a response.

Bored by board games? How your old favourites are fighting back

In a world filled with digital distractions, players’ attention spans are growing shorter. So manufacturers are making their games quicker and easier to win

I highly recommend a card game called Wizard, invented by a guy from Toronto.  Easy to learn, harder to master, it is played with a regular deck of cards, plus 8 extra cards.  Play for free online at a site you can find by googling card games (can't list it here by rule but try wizardcards dot  com) where tournaments are also held  monthly.  A yearly World Championship is played  in Europe where representatives from countries such as Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Spain, Canada and the USA, where Wizard is very commonly played, compete for the title of Master Wizard.
