Hi, I have been playing Potion Explosion and liked the game. It is a like match 3 game with a strategic twist, no IAP, only one payment. It is easy, brain teaser, with quick games ( 10 minutes ).
I have explored other board games like Sagrada and Splendor.
Do you know of other games with these attributes? Not necessarily a board game or match 3, but something fun, easy, and with puzzle-strategic component
Thanks
Tinytouchtales makes really good mobile strategy games with some puzzle like elements. I think all of their games are free to try with a purchase to unlock the full game. Card Crawl and Card Thief are the most popular. I think Card Crawl and Miracle Merchant are good ones to try since they are maybe a bit easier to learn. A few of their games are a little more complicated like Card Thief and Card Crawl Adventure but I recommend those too. Geo Gods is their newest which I also recommend if you like the others.
I also really like Golf Peaks and Inbento created by Afterburn. I think both cost 2.99 USD. They both have a finite number of puzzles to complete and are easy to learn but hard to finish.
Zhed is a good free puzzle game. I think it has IAP for hints.
Broki is another good free one with ads. IAP for ad removal and hints.
Small Islands is a completely free puzzle game with no ads that I would recommend.
Hey I know I responded to you the other day but it got deleted because of a hiccup on the instance I'm on. So here's my recommendations again just in case. I'm going to be more concise.
Tinytouchtales makes good mobile strategy games that are free to try/paid to unlock full game. I recommend all of their games but here are 2 strategy/card games that are on the simpler side.
Card Crawl
Miracle Merchant
I recommend these two paid puzzle games by Afterburn.
Golf Peaks
Inbento
Here are a few free puzzle games you may like. Some have IAP for hints/ad removal
If you like math puzzles, Meganum is something that I've been playing for a long while now. You have a grid of numbers where you need to make them all work in a way to result in the proper sums for all rows and columns.
Quadline is a great puzzle game where rotate pieces around a board with different movement types to get things into their correct place.
My favorite is Hoplite which I've been playing for over a decade at this point. It's a combaty turn based strategy where the goal is to descend downward and retrieve the golden fleece.
