Parlour games for long winter evenings
Before television, winter evenings were filled with games played round a table. Many of them are as good now as they were then, and they need nothing but a few people and an hour.
Here is what is worth keeping in the house.

Backgammon and chess reward a lifetime of playing and take minutes to learn. A wooden set is a thing to keep and hand on.

Puzzles and things to fiddle with
