Short (< 1 hour) 2-player games to play during lunch

As a reference, I found this thread from 2019. There are several good recommendations, but I'd like to see if there's something new since then.
When I'm homeworking, my wife and I like to play short board games during lunch time. We're very casual players, and have Hive with all extensions, Onitama, and Jaipur. We both like Jaipur because it's more light-hearted and easygoing (and maybe non abstract), but it takes some time and space to setup. Hive and Onitama are much quicker to setup and play, but require more focus than I have during lunch :)
We'll probably buy Hanabi or Patchwork next, to get something cooperative. I'd also like to try another easy deck building game, but I have no idea what to get.
So, what do you like to play during lunch?

Ebook reader for comics
I'm looking to buy a new ebook reader to replace my old Paperwhite. I would like to be able to read comics on it as well as normal books. I know there are finally some color screen ebook readers...
I'm looking to buy a new ebook reader to replace my old Paperwhite. I would like to be able to read comics on it as well as normal books. I know there are finally some color screen ebook readers on the market but from what I have read, they're not great for comics yet. Most of the comics I read/want to read are black and white anyway, so I figure my best bet is a b/w reader with a decent sized screen. Does anybody here have experience reading comics on ebook readers with or without color? Can anybody recommend a reader for this purpose?
Edit: Or is a tablet still the best choice for comics?

I need and want to buy a portable AMP and DAC. I have no experiance in this, a beginner. I want to choose between Fiio Btr5 and Fiio KA3. I also don't want to deal with battery issue in long term but bluetooth portability feels more convenient.
Can't decide what should i buy. Any advice

As an amateur photographer, I'm looking for recommendations to improve my process for reviewing and selecting the best photos from my albums.
Currently, it goes something like this:
- (after I copy the photos to my PC) I open the folder containing the album
- I open the first photo and start looking at the pictures using the default photo viewing app
- I note mentally, on paper, or in a digital notepad the names of the files that I like the most
- manually select the files that I noted down
My ideal workflow would be something like:
- open the folder, open first photo, look through them all
- each time I see a picture that I like, hit space or some other simple shortcut, which adds the picture to the current selection
- after I am done viewing, I have all the files that I want already selected to do with as I please
I have tried multiple apps over the years but I haven't come across anything that had something similar, or I was too stupid to figure out how to do it. The workflow I described is using windows/linux, on macOS it's even more cumbersome (since one needs to select all photos in a folder before previewing them).
Do you have any recommendations for an app that has functionality like this, or if not, on how I can make my workflow better?
Thanks
