Casual phone games have more mathematics involved than people appreciate. Even if that involves figuring out that you will die before completing the game unless you pay for it.
But, regardless of their merits, casual games are insanely popular for various reasons.
And not just casual games. All sorts of games involve mathematics.
That may not be your case, but a lot of people have fond memories playing SimCity or min-maxing their paladin.
- momofarm 7y agoI wonder what's the relationship with Simcity with Math? It's just a game with building keep growing and some random disaster.

- mmsimanga 7y agoThanks for your response. Certainly gave me a different perspective. More so because I am not a gamer. Not sure why but I never caught the gaming bug but most people I went to college with dabbled in games.
