Along with shattered pixel dungeon, this is one of the only worthwile games on Android I've found. They don't call home, they don't push ads, they don't spy on you, they're just good games, well implemented and open source.

Many years ago I found a pack of card games on f-Droid with a great solitare type game called Golf. I wish I could find it!
Civ IV is the best Civ. https://sullla.com/Civ5/bnwreview.html
Disclaimer: I'm one of the team members. In our experience, most people who say Civ4 is the best Civ end up really liking Old World. When it comes to Civ5, I personally find myself agreeing with Sullla.

I highly recommend Yiotro games: https://yiotro.com/games/ They're open-source, simple, quick games.

Not a complaint, more an FYI. I see a large number of games were added in 2020. I tried 3 randomly and all were either "incompatible with my device" or "made for an older Android version". Should I report them, or is it best to leave them for people with older versions of Android? Pixel 7 Pro / Android 14

Is there a genre of online grand strategy games that are designed from the ground up to be played asynchronously? One of my favourite things was playing scrabble online where I could just do a move and then move on with my day. It’d take a week to play a game but it was on our terms and that felt so good.
PBEM (Play By Email) was (and maybe still is) a big thing in the wargaming space. Long, long ago I was part of a group on USENET and later IRC that organised games of Stars! ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars !) with typically a cadence of a few turns per week, or sometimes "blitz" games played onn IRC with several turns per hour. Quite fun, but needs a community interested in such, and very focused game design. (…
I've probably played 1000 hours of Civ games. This looks horrifyingly garish. I can't imagine being able to stare at this. I notice it's a top down view, and I don't see an option for an isometric view. Maybe the AI is smart? The AI in Civ 5 was absolute trash, which is a pretty common theme in Civ games. Anyway, it's a pretty reasonable requirement for a game to not look horrific and off-putting, regardless of wheth…

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is incredible, but dangerously addictive. It's the perfect game for a 4-5 hour plane ride -- speaking from experience over the recent holidays.
The only way to break my addiction was to play through it. Due to skill and luck limitations I only got to somewhere in the last 3rd of the game, so I cloned the repo and modified the code so my characters where basically invincible from the beginning and played though it.
... but definitely solves the addiction problem :-)

On their release date, the best games in the franchise would be between Civ 3 and Civ 4. Civ 5 and 6 are so different that it is difficult to call them successor games anymore. It's Civ meets Settlers of Catan or something, no longer a true Civ game. The movement limitations in Civ 5 and 6 don't make sense. The biggest battles in history have been what Civ 5+ players dismiss as "death stacks". Think of the Battle of…
Civ is heavily rooted in a certain "classical" view of history, in which generals' tactical brilliance is what determines history. So I understand why they wanted to make room for actual tactics. If that comes at the cost of archers being able to shoot a bunch of gatling gunners across the English channel without them having the reach to shoot back, then so be it.
