I used to play card games with my friends before. A friendly game wherein we go buy snacks at the grocery for the prices. Every time we end the match, the winner would get the snack he/he like from the plastic bag. We prefer doing these kinds of rewards to ensure that everyone will have fun than making punishment to the loser of the game. But unfortunately, my friends and I do not do this kinds of activities nowadays since everyone are busy with work and priorities. I honestly kinda miss the old days haha.
ohhh we've tried this before especially my friends every time we plan to go on a staycation, we always have ready card games and coins to use, it's just a friendly game with a twist because of course whoever loses will be the one who treats us a dinner or some goods. Actually it's fun to play because it's just a simple gambling card game and the money is not that big, we make it so that somehow we can have a common bonding using the cards we bring. Just like what you've experienced, We rarely do this kind of game due to busy schedules in work but that's okay because we both understand that we need to focus in our priorities for now.
