That mobile game where you slowly build up a city, train lots of troops, launch attacks on other players’ cities, form alliances and so on, before getting soundly thumped by the Koreans.

    From a personal perspective. Those have such a low investment requirement for the basic gaming loop.

    Over the course of the day there will be small unavoidable breaks, 5-15 minutes long during which there isn't much to do. Cant really boot up a PC for more serious gaming session with such a small time even if I'm near a PC at that time, usually not.

    But there's always a smartphone within reach. So this sort of random town building games are perfect to kill few minutes, pretty much same as killing some time doomscrolling or watching some YT videos.
