I’m looking for good games to play on mobile. Searching in the Games section lists only Newton and Splendor. Can anyone recommend any others?
Thank you

Can’t Stop works fine on mobile screens.

The game "Odin" is a game that can be played on both computers and mobile devices without it being disturbing. In any case, this is what I recommend to you.

Fromage works well for me. Orleans has a bit of scrolling but I'm not having problems with. I think It's a Wonderful World also works fine.

Hand and Foot works as well despite some zoom in / zoom out on the phone.

Because you mentioned it in your OP, Newton rendered poorly on an iPad. I can’t imagine it’s better on a phone. It’s put me off playing again simply because of the poor interface that jumped and resized each time I scrolled up and down between the different game boards. One of my poorest experiences on BGA (and I play backgammmon here!).

Azul plays ok on a phone.

I guess it comes down to, if it’s a game you know well, for layout, icons, positioning, and reading the game situation, then even though a game is on a small phone screen you’ll be ok. I can play Lost Ruins of Arnak acceptably on a phone but that’s because I play a lot in real life and am totally familiar with it. But the Arnak board is so ‘busy’ I wouldn’t recommend someone new to it trying it on a phone as a first experience.

Harmonies, Welcome To and Takenoko work well on phones. Harmonies is particularly good.
