dont know why the links are so big, hopefully they work

from my limited research these things run on a smart phone sized computer. you can built them if you are a computer nerd or just buy one
you can get them with dozens of game systems and thousands of games. from pitfall and frogger to mario and zelda to newer play station games like tomb raider and sonic
it runs without internet and online subscriptions, all the games are saved and play from memory

I bought one from alliexpress with 10k games and 4 controllers, but even the cheaper smaller systems should keep kids busy for a while

Anything after, and including, the ? can be eliminated as it is simply tracking information. That should help tremendously with link length.

Kids are grown up but we have everything from decks of cards to a backgammon and chess board.       The grown kids aren't so used to actual face to face socialization but they will learn to appreciate actually being in the same room with the person they are chatting with.

Part of my preps was, backgammon, chess, checkers and a case of playing cards!  I really wish I could find someone today to play backgammon and chess with!  (I printed out the rules so I can teach people🤦‍♂️🤔😳…)

We have tons of board games in preps. We have all the standards plus games like Carcasone, settlers of katan and many others I never heard of. Apparently “in person” games are a big thing amongst career military. And then there’s the old favorites like monopoly, Risk, Uno, etc.
