I’ve been spending a lot of time recently sitting on our Comfy Chair, snoozing baby in lap, playing games. This isn’t like me. I’m not a gamer, and never really have been, other than a brief diversion with the Halo series of console games a couple of years ago, and an excursion into EVE Online before I was married. I find that when I have free time, I’d rather be hacking on code or reading epic length fiction.

Sadly, when sitting in the chair all the time, I don’t have long stretches of time available to me. Either the child will wake up and need something, someone else in the house will need me to do something, or I’ll fall asleep. So I’ve been using the iPad a lot more recently and playing Bejeweled or Words With Friends, or digging into browser based games like Ikariam. I’ve even toyed with playing online card games (trying my hand at poker again, in preparation for a resurgence of the ill-fated Poker Nights in my past).

Anyway, I’m looking for suggestions of other games to play – ideally with some sort of social interaction, as I’m not getting a lot of that these days.
