New AppList: Games for Non-Gamers

New AppList: Games for Non-Gamers

No shooting, blood, guts, or gore. Just casual, enjoyable games for adults who don’t consider themselves serious gamers. Some challenge your mind; others are totally mindless. Some you can play with a friend, either in real life or online; while others you play just by yourself.
