Mobile strategy feels better suited to a phone when a short session still contains one useful decision. A readable interface helps, pausing is optional, and progression shouldn’t play the game for you.

I’m hoping you get some solid suggestions. I have such a hard time navigating mobile app stores to find anything that I may want to play
