There exist so many different games to try and so little time. I need games that pay back into the real world more than just with fun. So my latest cataloging effort is of games that make their player smarter somehow. Artsy creativity, historical sims and hallmarks of culture go in different lists. Unfun edutainment has no place on any decent list. Every planning challenge based game trains basic problem solving deduction. For this list and thread, I want games that do more. Examples:
Cosmic Supremacy teaches a directly usable skill; basic bot programing.
Democracy 3 shows a problem solving method; See complex systems as a web of cause effect.
Achron completely explores a mind challenging concept; Time travel paradoxes.
King of Dragon Pass induction instead of deduction.
The list so far:Edit:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF64FEABCA618B4AC
