I’m in my mid 40s and have about a dozen friends and many more acquaintances that I see regularly for reasons exactly like this. In person Pathfinder with local friends, online D&D with some remote friends, and earlier this year started going to local fighting game community events which has caused a huge influx of new friends.
Board games are good. I like the crazy verbal ones like Cards Against Humanity or Rappakalja (which is called Balderdash in English accordign to Wikipedia), but something like Catan will also do.
Yesterday we went to the cinema in a local art deco cinema, that was pretty cool actually. They had couches in the back. The newest Jodie Foster movie of all things.
There’s the local requirement though. I have zero contact to anybody from my youth, I moved, completely changed my lifestyle, they moved… My friends now are much more recent.
For future reference, tabletop gaming usually doesn’t refer to board games that usually refers to things like dungeons& dragons, cyberpunk, Pathfinder, and their ilk.
Tabletop gaming and regular movie nights for my friends at my house keeps my circle together.

Wait until one of you (and no one else) has kid(s).

We do DnD mainly. Some times we break out the MTG decks.
