Hobby board games. There are thousands of board games out there and enough variety there's something for everyone. The games I'm usually into are called Euro style board games since they originated in Europe.
Euro style games are mostly high skill games with little luck similar to chess, but have varied starting positions to make them more interesting. They typically play with up to 4 players or more which adds a good bit of complexity. They're a good way to sit around, talk, drink, and have a fun time away from computer/phone/TV screens.
I've also gotten really into mahjong specifically over the past year. I've played over a thousand games and still learning. I mostly have to play that one over an app, but it's a fun break during the work day. I'm able to play occasionally in person, but there's a pretty steep learning curve which makes it hard to convince people to play. I'm always trying to get more people into it though.
