Some games are like a moreish snack. They’re immensely enjoyable, quick to pick up, and they keep you coming back for more – so much so that, before you know it, you’ve missed your bus stop or even your bedtime.

From reinventions of tabletop classics to all-action battles, these games are all very different from one another. They do, however, have one thing in common – it’s almost impossible to resist one more turn…

It doesn’t take long to complete a session of this ingenious fusion of solitaire and poker, but you’ll want to keep dealing out those cards for another shot at beating the house. It’s all about building the best hands as you chase the highest scores possible, experimenting with Wild cards and unlocking new Blinds to earn bigger rewards. The odds won’t always be in your favour, of course, but there’s always next time…

You’ll never reach the end of this infinite runner, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep trying. Even though one small slip is enough to bring your madcap city dash crashing to a halt, you won’t think twice about picking yourself up and launching straight into another assault on that high score. Besides, the more you play, the more courses and street surfers you can try out.

Embrace your inner siege mentality in a speedy strategy game where being the king (or queen) of the castle comes with extra responsibilities. Expanding your settlement with new houses, mills and defences is a must, but you also know that every night an invading force of increasing strength – and ever-changing tactics – is poised to attack. Whether you win or lose, you’ll be desperate to dive back in and repel those invaders once more.
