| I grew up seeing card games as a slightly embarrassing ritual at family events - men slipping away after dinner, jokes about lost money, and a sense that it was all a bit reckless. Now those same games are on phones, played quietly at home. Has the meaning really changed, or are we just pretending it has because the setting looks cleaner? | |

| I think what changed is less about morality and more about access and framing. The game itself is familiar; what’s new is who can play, when, and without social pressure. When something moves from a back room to a living room, people reassess it. That shift is explored well in https://projectrethink.org/why-holi-rummy-is-breaking-stereotypes/ piece, Why Holi Rummy Is Breaking Stereotypes, which looks at how technology and legal clarity quietly reshape habits we thought were fixed. | |

| When everyday traditions move onto digital platforms, they often lose old labels and gain new audiences. Sometimes the biggest change isn’t behavior, but how openly people talk about it. | |
