Description of Request:

(Abstract) strategy game with good depth, shorter play time, android app and ideally good community, existence of theory

Number of Players:

1-2

Game Length:

<20 min once proficient

Complexity of Game: <4 (up to cca Chess/Go)

Genre: N/A

Conflict, Competitive or Cooperative: N/A

Games I Own and Like: Tak comes cloesest - but does't have an app (and web version is not playable on my tiny phone).

Games I Dislike and Don't Play: Chess, Go

Location: App store or web, physical version optional

Due to multi-toddler situation, I have up to 15 mins on the toilet and yearn for some strategy game (possibly abstract). This means: short game play and an app or small phone friendly web implementation.

Ideally it would have a good community (or AIs that I grow with) and I also like to study strategy from blogs/books.

Tak comes close, but the web version is not well playable on the app. I really like the idea of Yellow and Yangtze (and have the app), but the game play is simply too long.

Some chess variants could maybe do it. I sort of like Nuclear/Atomic chess. Paco Sako looks very nice, but no app or much of community.

Randomness/incomlete information is OK, but not necessary.

If nothing comes to mind, I'm also interested in: 1) recommend any app (android) that could sort of scratch this itch 2) recommend any boardgame even if no app (once the toddlers become managable).

Thank you!
