Solitaire on a lunch break. A game of chess before bed. A round of snake while waiting for a download. Classic games fit into life because they have been doing it for decades. The sessions are unhurried and the rules are already in your head. You might play one hand or ten. There is usually a score or a timer, but the real appeal is the ritual.
