If so what games do you play? And how do you find people to play with?

A lot of various TTRPG's, i thing the longest run was the old D6 Star Wars, currently experimenting with various systems to fit 40k universe, Wrath & Glory is good and also Genesys fits right in.

No trading/collectible card games ever again, those are nightmare, expensive as fuck and in Poland you basically have a choice to either overspend on MTG or Pokemon or get into some niche crap nobody plays and it get scrapped after a year or two.

Normal card games are ok, but gets old after some time. Boardgames are fun but also can be very very expensive for what they offer. Here my definite favourite is Dune: Imperium, noting else even come close.

Original Imperium or Uprising? I have heard really good things about both, but wasn't sure how it would fare as a solo title.

Both! Uprising is a standalone game and upgraded version of vanilla Imperium, but it is in fact completely compatible with both the vanilla Imperium and both its expansions, you can just take Uprising and add nearly all the cards and mechanics from both vanilla and both expansions for a huge card stacks and more randomised play (unlike vanilla imperium where there were some key OP cards that routinelly popped up like Lady Jessica or Kwisatz Haderach, you can compare with computer version where it is still unbalancing the game). This of course led to dilution of new Uprising mechanics, but interestingly enough the authors thought about that and put a lot of it not on the cards but on the board so the effect is minimal (in case of playing all together the board from Uprising is used).
