So, a relative that all she plays in her tablet is solitaire, saw ads of some mobile crap full of microtransactions and now wants some of those. I said i'd check if there was games kinda like those (all puzzles of some sort), and would highly prefer if they're all FOSS to avoid or at least highly reduce the chance they're gonna turn into microtransaction-laden crap or start syphoning all the data in the phone or something. But given that i don't really play in mobile i have no idea what's available. Checking on F-Droid it just lists every game in the "games" category, "Show all 467 packages", not separated by genre or with ratings or anything Is there a place to look up this kind of thing?

Puzzles (40 single-player logic games) I recommend this package on f-droid for puzzles. As for an organised list, f-droid is pretty lacking in terms of subcategories within it's categories, but I have skimmed that whole category a couple times just to see if anything is interesting. There is also a solitaire package in there. Simple Solitaire Collection (Solitaire game collection with 17 games)
