On occasion I’ll let me kids play games on my android phone, at restaurants, etc.

The issue is inevitably getting them to share. Are there good Android games that are turned based and require players to hand over the phone to take turns? This is mainly for my almost 8 year old, but she’s smart, so doesn’t have to be super simple as long as it’s not zombie flesh-eating monsters or whatever.

Ticket to Ride. Easy to learn, mostly indirect conflict, encourages planning and strategy.

Carcassonne is a good one, too, even if scoring is a bit abstract at the end, but the computer will do all of that math for you.
