I'm not one for simple and quick games, so I'm the wrong one to ask.
I enjoyed Polytopia, Minecraft, Conspiracy (a Diplomacy clone), Bomb Squad and Star Realms a lot. But none of them are exactly simple. Maybe Conspiracy, but that's also not quick at all.
I think you misstook me. Please read my comment two up.
Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government are justified. They are both monsters that would erradicate the other side if they wheren't held by their DIY weapons and the international community respectively.
If Israel wouldn't care about their position in geopolitics, they'd have nuked Gaza a long time ago, and the West Bank as well.
If Hamas had access to better weapons than glorified fireworks, guns from the 50s and diggers, they would have also erradicated Israel by now.
And no, one party's violence does never justify attacking civilians and among them children.
The people caught in the cross fire are civilians and among them very many children.
~1000 Israelis killed since the beginning of the conflict vs 4108 Palestinian Children and 10022 Palestinians total.

Couldn't find a single report about Israeli kids killed by Palestinians in 2023.
You mean the facility that was shutdown in 1991 and since then was only used for the destruction of chemical weapons?
Seems like a legit reason to invade a country and kill thousands of people there, 12 years later /s
What a simplistic little view of the world. It would fit nicely for a 15yo, but anyone older than 20 should understand that war is not football. You don't just pick a team, consider them the saviours of the world and demonize the others.
Especially not in a conflict as complicated as this one.
Not everyone who thinks that killing children en masse isn't exactly great is pro Hamas.
Multiple things can be true at the same time:
Do you only want free ad-free or is it ok if you can pay to remove ads?
Free ad-free is kinda limited. Can't think of anything there right now.
Paid ad-free, there are lots of options. Most games offer an ad-free version/in-app-payment for a few Euros.
Alternatively, you can get rid of ads using NetGuard (only the versions from F-Droid and Github can block ads, the one on the play store cannot due to Googles restrictions).
NetGuard filters ads locally without sending leaking metadata to some ad-blocking DNS services.
And contrary to a Pi Hole it also works when you are not at home, since it runs directly on the phone.
Finally designers are realizing it's not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.
Nah, they rather just add a few more thousand murders to the >5000 Palestinians they already murdered in the last few years.
And if it's children, all the better according to some people in the Israeli government.
It's kinda weird though that some people call for violent revolutions over what amounts to semantics.
Sadly, history has taught us, that there are only very few revolutions that end up with a more liberal political system. The Zaparistas are the first instance where I heard of something like that, and I am not nearly informed enough on the specifics of their system and how it works out in real-life to comment on them.
All other revolutions that I know about usually ended with a Robespierre, a Lenin/Stalin, a Hitler, a Mao Zedong or any of the hundreds of military dictatorships that came into power over the last century.
Not many people are able to first amass enough power to be stronger than the regular government and then idealistic enough to let go of all that power again.
Same here in Austria last year they got us 7.7% increase in IT, with 10.6% inflation. And this year the employers offered 2.3% with 7.8% inflation forecasted for 2023.
Not to mention that inflation hits us now and pay raises only happen next year. Meanwhile the companies do their price hikes straight away.
No, you didn't try.
You are right, of course, that most revolutions don't have communism as their goal.
But all successful ones lead to totalitarian states.
I find it difficult to judge the Zapatistas, same as the Spanish Revolution and the Makhovshchina, since they all nevever matured (or in the chase of the Zapatistas haven't matured yet).
Generally speaking, during a revolution, the revolutionists (is that a word?) promise the people everything, because they need to gather support. Once they have driven out the old power/government and actually control the area, they usually tend to shift. This pattern occurs not only for communist revolutions, but for all types of revolution.
Generally speaking "Support me becoming a totalitarian dictator" isn't really a good rallying call.
I'm not saying it can't happen, only that it consistently hasn't happened so far.
