Games to play when you're bored
Bored, phone in hand, nothing good to watch. These start in seconds and end in a minute or two, so a short break stays short.
All free, all in the browser, all on your phone. Beat the game, then send your score to a friend so they have to beat it too.

Time pass games
"Time pass" says it perfectly: five spare minutes in a queue, a lecture gap, a long auto ride. A tiny game fills it better than a feed. One round has an end, so you actually get your five minutes back.
