Myself, I play a lot of M3s and TMs. For some reason M3 is a genre I can play endless variations of. But for a lot of TMs, I get tired of them when they start to feel too similar. I find I don't even demo builder TMs anymore because they all feel like clones to me. Luckily there are so many different subgenres within the larger TM genre that I can usually find something to catch my interest.

I do play some straight HOGs (Hidden Expedition: Titanic, MCF: Madame Fate and the Dream Day series are favorites) but not many HOPAs.

I also tend to really like sims, especially life sims like Life Quest and tycoon sims like the Chocolatier series or Fairy Godmother Tycoon.

I like a lot of sort of oddball games that I don't know exactly what genre they fit in. I particularly like open-ended world exploration games, where you might be given tasks to do, but the game isn't super linear and lets you proceed in your own way. In my mind, Wandering Willows, The Island Castaway, and City of Fools fit in this 'genre.'

Then there are some genres I'm barely aware of. I just recently played Arizona Rose (based on recs from you guys - thanks). I'd never even been aware of this genre (which I looked up and apparently they're called nonograms). It's always great fun to find a whole new type of games you never knew about.

I like HOPA's and some straight HOG's, like Gardenscapes and other of that ilk, where you get to fix up something.   I also own some straight HOG's that are somewhat quirky, like Gotcha: Celebrity Secrets, or that are so well done, like Classic Adventures: The Great Gatsby, that the lack of adventure elements doesn't bother me.

I like logic games, like the World Riddles series, and Inspector Parker, BeTrapped.

Don't like the dash-type games and don't really understand why they are called Time Management, because I don't feel like they allow me to manage anything, just click, click, click.

I like games that involve strategy but don't put me under time pressure, like Trade Mania and Art Mogul.   I like doing jigsaws but only own 2 games of that genre, Patchworkz and Jigsaws Galore.

I'll play M3's if they involve renovating (Farmscapes and Hello Venice)  or supply some sort of reward for playing them.  Don't like the ones that are just M3 boards wrapped up with some lame story.

I'll play anything except M3, dash-type games, and Mah Jongg.  I started with all 3 before ever playing my first HOG, but I guess I just got sick of them, and they don't hold any appeal for me anymore.  And I'm not real big on straight HOG's.  Most of them bore me.

My favorites are HOPA's and Resource Management, like Royal Envoy.  I also love quest-type games like Artist Colony and Little Folk of Fairy, RPG's, and logic-based games, like nanograms.

Dex, there is a game that is like Plants vs Zombies, it's new and it's called Skeleton Pirates.  I don't know what genre it's in but you can find it when you type that name in the search on BF.  Have you also tried the new M3s...there have been several released lately.  A good one is Imperial Island: Birth of an Empire - you will surely love that one.  Then there's The Snow, and latest one is Magic Time.

Still HOPAs/frogs.  And then a bit of other types of games.  So far I've loved JOAN OF ARC (M3) and NORTHERN TALE (resource management? like MKFTP).  NT has a completely untimed mode! And it's funny and bright.  And a marble popper -- BIRDS TOWN -- always makes me smile.  So much so that I played 1000 levels of it!

Dex -- I think I read somewhere that PvsZ 2 is coming out.
