As we roll into World Social Media Day on June 30th, it's the perfect time to check out how it's totally transformed gaming, especially for classic games that have been around forever. These old-school favorites aren't just going digital; they're getting a full-on revival thanks to platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and more. Social media has turned them into a global hangout spot where players swap strategies, show off wins, etc. So, let's take a look at the top five games that are absolutely crushing it online this World Social Media Day. 1.

Carrom: From South Asia to the World Was there ever a summer vacation that went by without a game of Carrom?
