Suggestions for simple card game (self.boardgames)

I am looking for a simple card game that would be fun for the elderly and at the same time would break the monotony of traditional card games, that they are currently playing. Preferably something internationally popular so it is easy to buy in the EU.

Edit: Thanks everyone. I bought The Crew and noted a lot of other games. Hope it will go well :)

"No Thanks!" is super easy and fun.

But I've also found with a lot of oldies that they actually like playing the same old games. They often have more depth and complexity than you might think at first glance, and it's difficult to learn a new game of similar complexity later in life and might be dull to swap out for a simpler game. Like, if some whippersnappers were to go "granny, put those delvers and cantrips away and come play some fun Cards Against Humanity with us" I'd probably immolate myself on the spot 🤷🏻‍♀️
