Games for Long-Distance Couples
Miles apart, same table. Send one link and play Cribbage, Gin Rummy or Backgammon together, each on your own phone or laptop. Play live while you are on a call, or at your own pace: make a move, and the game waits for your partner to make theirs, even across time zones (with a nudge on the phone if they turn it on).

Live: you both sit at the table at the same time, great on a video call. At your own pace: the game waits days if needed, and you can have a few games going at once. Your open games are under My games.
