Are you into board and strategy games?
I love board (and card, dice and video) games. Not strategy games though. I like lighter games, fillers, gateway games, easily learned and fun to play games.
I play with my mom or by myself (depending on the game).
I like Solitaire games like those from Smart Games and Think Fun.

I've got seriously obsessed with classic board games of late. I've started learning the rules and making boards for games from all around the world- Lambs and Tigers, Permainan-Tabal, Yut... lots of obscure treasures. I spend a lot of time on sites like Board and Pieces reading up on whole families of related games.
Trouble is, I don't really have anyone to play with yet, though I plan to host a board games session once my living room is in a decent state. (So, never....) Sad sod that I am, I'll quite happily play games against myself- I enjoy it, and have no trouble playing both sides equally well. But obviously it's difficult to conceal my strategy from myself!
I've had two regular chess opponents in the past, but both were significantly better than me and I never seemed to improve, so I got fed up with that. One of them I introduced to Chinese Checkers, which I beat him at for a few weeks before his superior brain cracked it. The other, we moved on to Nine Men's Morris, which turns out to be a pretty intense game.
About 5 years ago I lived in a shared house where all 4 of us were obsessed with board/tabletop games. We got heavily into modern "Euro"-style games- we must have played hundreds of games of Carcassonne and Dominion. I really miss those times. One of my few remaining friends has hosted gaming days, but only about once a year.
I'm not keen to play tabletop games online. I love handling physical pieces, cards and boards (kind of a stim?). And I prefer to play on a "friendly" basis rather than a cut-throat "win-at-all-costs" one, which seems more likely online. I'm all about the fun.

Got a favourite?
Mine is Carcasonne.
These sorts of cafes are becoming common in the UK, though it might be worth scouting meetup.com in your case for a local group
We badly need a board game cafe round here! There is a general geek-culture themed cafe- I wonder if it might be a good place to find fellow enthusiasts? The only group I'm aware of meets on Friday nights, and I've always been too shattered from my working week to go along.

Yeah, same! I like party games too, when there's a group to play with (like Telestrations or Articulate).
I play with my housemate and/or a local friend, or with my mum, or at a monthly Meetup group.
I have a large collection, but some current favourites are Azul, Sagrada, Codenames, DiXit...
