Need something to distract right now in the moment? Waiting around and need a little something you two can do together? A short list of some vetted game apps. They’re all free, they can be played on multiple devises, have decent approval ratings, no human based characters are being knocked off, most have different playing levels, and they’re still fun with or without the background game noise.
