To ask for something to play on my phone whilst bed bound

[TheoriginalLEM]

I've hurt my back so stuck in bed, mostly off my noggin on diazepam and naproxen so can't concentrate to read.

Any recommendations for decent, slightly absorbing games?

My sanity is in your hands

I'm old school and love temple run, candy crush and I love the ones where you have to cook and serve diners! Depends if you would prefer something higher brow! What about an easy listen audio book, I have just listened to eat, pray, love and Denise Walsh new one about depression. Both brill

Township! I'm slightly addicted.

When you get going, there's so much to do it takes over your life haha.

Baby is asleep so I'm going to just pop on now to to grow some wheat so I can make bread. Then, I'll turn that into a burger, so I can fill a helicopter order and make some money. I'm saving up to unlock a new island.

Also, my coop is participating in the regatta and my task is to feed 90 animals in 2 days. If we win, I'll use the prize money to add extra slots to my factories.

Oh and I came third in the mining contest this morning. But first in the aeroplane game a few days ago!

I'm not making any of that up 😆

Gardenscapes is by the same company and that's also nice. Love Gardenscapes too.

Food street is a great restaurant game, I've been playing for ages. Ask like battleships and monopoly.

You can play all kinds of card games here, against real online opponents. I'm linking you to spades but there are tons and it's free.

Homescapes - like gardenscapes recommended above.

Scrabble Go - my screen time is shocking since discovering this

World of goo
Not free but brilliant

Stardew Valley. But it'll eat your life away

Tsuro
It’s a board game with many different versions of play

Best Fiends Stars is great. Starts off really easy so you can feel you’ve achieved something whizzing through the levels. Also the original Best Fiends too.
Angry Birds Dream Blast is my third fave after the above two.

CodyCross
Quick crossword like game

I love the Choices games!

Another vote for Township. I am also addicted 😁

I've been playing something called Terrarium. It's not really a skill game in any way, but I've found it very addictive and it's lovely and calming. You have some shelves and some plants, which grow slowly. If you tap them, they grow more and upgrade to the next level, and you can buy more plants and boosters and things, to give them extra watering or fertilizing and then you get more shelves and more plants and eventually they flower... That's about it really. I've almost maxed out all my plants now in 3 zones and then it will all be a bit pointless as there'll be nothing else for me to do on it, but it's kept me entertained through lockdown. It's nice and mindless and doesn't require any thinking.

Webboggle, you can play against others, rounds last 3 mins

Words With Friends. I'll play you!

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp.

Lily's Garden - lovely and absorbing, and no annoying adverts.

Homescapes
Gardenscapes
Best fiends
Diamond digger saga

Those are the 4 I play most on nightshift

Wheel of Fortune
Fishdom

Animal crossing pocket camp

Merge Dragons is a good time eater. Most of it needs just enough attention to be distracting. I also like Magic Puzzles as an online jigsaw option.

Animal Crossing pocket camp!
