Games for non-gamers

Bloons: Monkey City is an absurdly fun version of Bloons TD5, with a city building element chucked in. It's a tower defense game, which for noobs is a basic type of strategy game where you place down towers with different radiuses and abilities that can be upgraded, which have to stop an advancing enemy (this one has monkeys popping balloons, which is more fun and original than gunners shooting aliens). Simple enough to be accessible, but enough depth to create a genuine challenge and hold your attention. This version has challenges against "real players" and plenty of special missions.


Released on a free-2-play model, which is why I'm recommending it above other versions, it is ad supported but if you buy a one off starter pack of currency it gets rid of ads - gives you a chance to try before you buy. As long as you're patient when it comes the city building, you don't need to pay anything else, as you can earn enough ingame currency (both types) to do what you need to. Took me about 4 months to get Max level on all "monkeys".
 
I'm playing Color Puzzle a lot at the moment, which is sorting grids of coloured squares. Very addictive and quite soothing except for the ads. Most of the games are too easy though so I've been making my own fiendishly complicated grids of teeny squares in very slightly different shades of grey.
