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.

    Hope you find something here you like!

    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.
