Looking less like a game than a Damien Hirst piece worth more than your three-bedroom house, Dots is probably the most tasteful-looking game in this whole list. Where others are brash and plagued by ads and exhortations to buy add-ons, Dots feels like the work of a bearded graphic designer who probably works in a downtown loft with exposed beams and white walls. And drinks single-origin coffee.
The game itself is beautifully simple: you connect dots of the same colour to make them disappear, with each round having a 30 second limit. Making longer connections (or shapes such as squares) gives you more points, so there’s an element of skill in setting up the board for future moves.
