Board 8 > are any of those shovelware-lookin Merge games any good?

(+) Yeah! (+)

like Merge Mansions with the crazy ads, and all the other probably-easy-to-churn-out games that look like it? where you move stuff around and it combines into bigger/better stuff?

they all look like casual trash but sometimes that's what you're in the mood for and my monkey brain apparently likes when three thing combine to make big thing (the mechanic appears as a minigame in another phone game I'm playing)

A few years ago, I played EverMerge to get a bonus in another mobile game. It actually hooked me for about a week beyond the amount I needed to play it, too, which is more than I can say for the few other Merge games I played for bonuses.
