What are the best games for connecting with old childhood friends (casual gamers) that have drifted apart? (beehaw.org)

Like we're not triple-A machine possessors at this point. A friend and I played in the era of the original Age of Empires, and StarCraft; Worms, and Dune. We were core SNES-PS2 era. We were never the ultra competitive hotkey speed run strategy types, but just played for fun.

Anyone out there in your late 30s to early 40s that have managed to connect to old friends despite long distances, what are you playing now?

Me and some of my friends from college wanted to reconnect and we wound up wanting to play since online games too, but two of us only had Macs (which don't have many supported games) and one of us didn't have any console.

This meant that our options were limited, but we came up with a couple of solid (in my opinion) options:

Play an online MOBA that supports phones. We wound up picking Pokemon Unite. It's far from the best game I've played, but we can chat on Discord while we play, and it's fun enough
Play a game on Tabletop Simulator. It supports Mac and isn't graphically intensive. We like playing Uno with it, but my understanding is it can basically be used for almost any game.
