I’m looking to play some mobile games online with my partner while we’re away; something simple and potentially asynchronous but doesn’t have to be. Something like Words With Friends but not cluttered and overrun with ads. Simple board games, strategy, or other casual games.

Anyone have any suggestions? Doesn’t necessarily have to be free, but it is preferred. I’ve looked all over but navigating the Play Store is a nightmare if you’re not looking for the top 20 grossing games.

Edit: Thank you to the very few who actually gave some recommendations closer to what I asked for. To be more clear, the kind of games I am looking for are:

  • Ad-free (it’s okay if it’s cheap to remove ads as long as the game is not overly monetized and cluttered)
  • Simple, quick
  • Online / remote
  • Asynchronous (not required)

    Chess Time is a great asynchronous chess app with only an unobtrusive banner ad. My wife and I always have a casual game going.

      Lichess is better - no ads, period. It’s a free open source game.

        Does it have an async mode?
