My 102yr old great aunt, with a mind as sharp as a cactus, says playing the card game Euchre (which she and my sharp minded uncle who lived to 98---played DAILY.) and I too swear by it. Constantly changing possibilities, constant conversation and laughs. I play online now that I have no one who knows the game out here in Seattle. Having fun with others is crucial.
