I find myself playing computer card or board games to relax during a work break or at the end of the work day. Later, I like to play Angry Birds, Diamond Digger, Farm Heroes, Candy Crush and Bubble Witch while settling down by the TV. I tend to game for strategy and independently or with computer generated opponents. I used to play online with others but find myself impatient with slow pokes or when others become distracted from the game. This weekend, I had to sit with a heating pad to my back and try to stay still for a while. The gaming helped distract me from the discomfort and kept me quiet.
