So basically organized league style sports and games? The kind that peaked with Putnam's bowling-alone culture?
Putnam claimed it peaked in the 1950s iirc but I don't see why they can't exist in postmodernity (I'm on a sports league and I'm me lol)

I'm trying to figure out how modern domestic-cozy subculture around indie board game nights or small groups of video-gamers is different from the bowling league stuff. The latter had a much more... tocquevillean I suppose... org culture. The former seems more intimate somehow

tocquevillean exactly - the intimate kind is demanding in a different way
