loaded question: what casual video games can you recommend at the moment?

Shameless SEO-sucking-up post! (Because I’ve noticed that pop-culture sites that cover video games get way more traffic than those that don’t. Not that a random post like this one here or there will make much difference. But what the hell.)
I’ve just discovered mass-transit simulator Mini Metro, and I’m wasting so much wonderful time with it. It reminds me of SimCity, which I was hooked on many many years ago but doesn’t seem to have a good Mac version right now. Mini Metro is available for Apple devices (where is where I’m using it) and on many other platforms.
What casual video games can you recommend at the moment?
(Let’s stick to casual video games for now. I’ll do another Loaded Question for more serious games soon.)
For 5 years I've been playing Hidden City, a hidden object casual game. You find objects within scenes that are stuffed full of random things. The graphics are beautiful and the game is low-stress and low-pressure, which is what I like about it. You can also assemble collections of gifts that you get from your friends (other people playing the game). There are also mini-games within the game that you can play anytime; one of the best is a Minesweeper variant that's awesome. Another mini-game is a match-3 type. Hidden City is available for Android and Apple devices, as well as on the web for computer users.
