PUBG Mobile/COD Mobile/Fortnite
These are the obvious choices, in my eyes. Fortnite is especially perfect honestly, since you can play with friends regardless of whether they’re on Android, Nintendo Switch, iPhone, iPad, PC, PS4, Xbox One… You are literally spoilt for choice, and it pretty much guarantees your friends will have a capable device somewhere.
PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile are also fine choices, though of course are restricted to your mobile devices. Still, if you want to get together with friends and enjoy one another’s voices, this is the perfect option.
Phobies
Phobies has a rather unique approach to the game world, but it’s not hard to get a good grasp of it. In essence, it is CCG, but your cards are quite unusual, you’ll play with fears and, as the title suggests, phobias! Sounds horrifying, but there is a fine layer that will let you sleep at night without wetting your bed – the artwork is cartoonish and inexplicably cute.
Asynchronous battles allow players to play multiple matches simultaneously, and on top of that, you can invite some of your friends and give them a good bash!

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
Fair warning to anyone who’s about to dive into Civilization game for the first time: it’s addictive. Oh God, it’s addictive. Being an asynchronous multiplayer strategy means that you can play with your friends over long distances without the annoying waiting for them to complete their turn. For those of you not familiar with the concept, you take control over one present or historic nation and try to lead it to its golden age, and ahead of the others in various categories.
It’s one of the rare titles where you don’t need to win through military might, as you can do it through cultural, scientific and other achievements. Note that the conversion from PC to mobile wasn’t that smooth, so you can expect a few bugs here and there.
