As you know, people love entertainment of all sorts. When the first gaming consoles were released more than 15 years ago, all of us immediately fell in love, playing for hours on end. But the gaming world did not stop developing then. As a result, today we have a new branch in the gaming industry seems to reign all over the gaming realm – social games.

True, many people still prefer the old gaming model (the one with console games) which usually comes at a serious upfront price but there are now individuals who prefer to play social games. They are cheaper, easily accessible, and incredibly addictive.

Social games are simply games you play online or on your mobile phone. As it could be guessed from their name, these games involve a social element. Essentially, players usually play with/against their friends. In addition, social games may feature leader boards in which members can participate (challenge those in a higher or lower position) and there could also be chat rooms for players to share and compare their progress.
