I think the whole aspect of family time is ever so gradually becoming a thing of the past, with people finding their connections elsewhere including online. People aren't physically together as much in my opinion.
As a family, we play cards a lot as well as all sorts of board games. We've just begun playing Backgammon with our two grandsons (age 11 and 9) and we taught them poker and pontoon from a young age and we even play these latter ones with money, albeit toy money with specimen written across the notes. Hope we're not leading them astray. Another popular game has been Yahtzee, again from a young age which helped enormously with multiplying and addition.
As a child we always played rummy as a family when visiting grandparents and as a teen we played Kaluki and poker all sat round the table on many an evening. In my 20s played a lot of bridge with friends but all we ever do now is play crib on holiday. I think today's kids might find cards boring - there are so many fancy games apps etc.
