But, some games take the focus you get from Sativas while casual games require the chill of Indicas. So, consider the game you’re playing before you shop for strains that enhance your game experience. Green Rush Daily has divided those games into the following categories.

Casual Games are easily learned and, therefore, popular with a wide audience. You’ll find them online, and they often come with a free-trial. Better games are boxed and sold a most retail stores.

Makers are competing for customer use by designing them for cellphone play, tablets, and other devices. Or, they may be Java or Flash empowered which makes them accessible on any internet device.

Casual games are not demanding, TvTropes describes them as “something you can pick up, play for ten minutes, put back down again, and replay for years. Casual games are designed to relieve boredom during short breaks, not occupy hours of time.”

They can be amusing, educational, and entertaining, but such games do not present much challenge.

Strategy Games emphasize skill, planning, and winning. Players have opponents, and the goal means defeating those enemies. Winning takes planning to reduce the role of chance. There’s a warfare involved that asks the winner to use strategy and tactics in the movement of people, units, or forces to control events. It’s not a place to panic or make the wrong move.

Variously realistic, people and equipment operate against historical, mythical, or flat even backgrounds. They typically offer military scenarios, but they can also take place in an economy or geopolitical context.

Popular among real gamers engaged with one or more competitors in the room or online.

First Person Shooters are 3-D action games where you see the action through the eyes of your avatar, usually involved in combat of some sort. There are variations with 3rd-Person Shooters and Simulators. They all require focus, attention, agility, and digital dexterity.

Puzzle Games take some logic and clear-headedness. Action Games and Racing Games need attention and quick reflexes.
