One of the megatrends that has fueled the internet is “casual gaming”.
These are easy-to-learn computer games that you can play in between, almost as a snack.
The first popular casual games were screen adaptations of classic solitaire card games.
There are now countless casual games, also and especially for smartphones, in which very different talents are in demand.
However, health experts agree that constantly staring at a screen is not good for the body, mind or soul in the long run.
Therefore, here is a surfing tip that will – hopefully – make completely different casual games tempting for you: At http://www.papg.com/ you will find a comprehensive compendium of games for which you only need a piece of paper and a pen required.
Of course, this includes classics such as “Battleship” or “City, Country, River”, but also many other entertaining games – with the notable exception of the hangman, however.
The various pen and paper games are roughly categorized into Numbers, Words, Pictures and Areas.
Anyone who clicks through the gallery of games will be amazed: For example, a tennis match can even be recreated on paper (here the direct link: http://www.papg.com/show?3CC6), albeit a little slower .
By the way: If you are missing a game partner, you can also play some of the games shown online against the computer.
Now our question:
