I though you might be interested in a definition of “casual game”. Here we go:

“An easy-to-learn game targeted at and/or played by people without extensive videogame experience. The idea of casual games emerged
as a marketing concept used to describe titles targeted at people who do not typically play popular console or PC games. There is no hard criteria regarding what makes a game casual or not, but in general, casual games tend to be simple action, puzzle, card or strategy games played on a PC or mobile device and are often downloadable for free or for a small fee.
A casual gamer is someone who plays these games and/or someone who plays games only occasionally. Example:Casual games such as
Bejeweledand Diner Dash are so easy to understand that even non-gamers
can instantly see their appeal.”

See you!
