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

Ooh Mergical. I lose days to this bloody game, literally.

If you like modern twists on old school games, macbrickout.

I’ve just rediscovered it. It’s a also just the one bloke who developed it, not a big corp, so although it’s not free IMO it’s worth the money, he’s kept it current for over 20 years!!

Another one addicted to Township! Blush

Kitten match. Stray kitten comes to live with you and you renovate a house and collect new kittens along the way by playing games. It's pretty addictive

Fishdom

It's fab - I'm on level 3,798! Been playing it about 4 years though

Love collecting fish and different fish bowls

I play cards - I have 9 that have daily challenges and I HAVE to do them all every day! fortunately they don't take a huge amount of time, about 3 hours for all of them.

JeSuisPrest · 07/07/2020 17:51

Little Alchemy is a good dip in and dip out game.

Confrontayshunme · 07/07/2020 18:01

Cooking craze!

ArchieStar · 07/07/2020 18:03

Lily’s garden, EverMerge, June’s journey :)

As someone who spends a lot of time bed bound, I love "idle" games. Mainly because they keep playing while I sleep. My current favourites are:
Merge Mansion
Adventure Communist
Idle Frontier
Light City
Idle Farming Empire
Hotel Empire Tycoon

Godus

@TwoleftUggs

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.
Tell me more. Is it a kids game?
Ishihtzuknot · 07/07/2020 18:22

Hole.io
Slither.io
Paper.io
My kids play them but they’re so addictive I have a go when they’re in bed Grin

ICantThinkOfOne13 · 07/07/2020 18:29

Mario Kart Tour.. obsessed!

EmotionalFlood · 07/07/2020 18:34

Hayday - my go to game when I can't leave the house, I've been playing for about 10 years!!
Clash of clans
Merge dragons/merge magic
Love Nikki
Emoji blitz
Pocket frogs
Mahjong Blush

Apolloanddaphne · 07/07/2020 18:42

Manor Cafe is my current favourite.

Heismyopendoor · 07/07/2020 18:46

Kitchen scramble

megletthesecond · 07/07/2020 18:59

Little Alchemy.

Fishdom

Wineandpyjamas · 07/07/2020 19:02

Can’t believe no one has said bitlife yet! Life sim game all text based - it’s so addictive. The devs run challenges every few weeks or so as well. You’ll lose hours!

Going off now to download township... Grin

meow1989 · 07/07/2020 19:02

I've been a bit obsessed with picture cross lately. Klondike is also a bit absorbing!

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 07/07/2020 19:28

Rusty Lake series.

waltzingparrot · 07/07/2020 19:28

I like a bit of fishdom or Osmos if I don't want anything taxing, but if I'm up for using some brain cells, I'd download 'Room'. Escape the room puzzle where you really do have to work out clues.

Miserablemoan · 07/07/2020 19:40

I’m addicted to a game called magic tiles-you have to tap the screen in time with songs. Worth paying the £4 to get the ad free version

Hippywannabe · 07/07/2020 20:00

June's Journey, started just before VE weekend, now officially obsessed!
