Game recommendations: Passive / Turn Based + Portrait Orientation + No IAP (or at least minimally invasive)
I'm looking for some game recommendations. I feel like a ton of these games exist but they're riddled with IAP. I don't mind paying a little to buy the game. I have the play pass but so many of these games are active involvement and landscape orientation. I like to have an extra hand free and landscape requires both hands on. But really want passive engagement. Like as soon as I stop playing the game is waiting for me. Example games:
Polytopia
Magnet Balls
Free Cell
Threes
Card Thief
Knights of Pen and Paper
Games like Slay the Spire (but portrait). Although I've never really found a Slay the Spire-like that didn't feel like a watered down version of STS

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is amazing and I feel like it might be what you're looking for. It's also FOSS.
It's landscape. Specifically I'm taking care of a baby a lot and can't hold a phone in landscape mode with one hand.
I'd second shattered pixel dungeon, its all turn based and a really fun game with tons of depth. (Especially if you like roguelikes etc) It also works fine in portrait, I only play it like that. Here's a screenshot from my phone:
Oh sweet! All the play store screenshots were landscape. I'll check it out
It's absolutely fine in portrait, I also only play it like that.
Give OneBit Adventure a try. Fits all your requirements. IAP is minimal in my opinion.
Thanks I'll check it out
