The best strategy games to play with one hand

A lot of strategy games assume you're sitting with both hands free. On a crowded train that's not happening, so we went looking for titles that respect one-handed play.

The key features are drag-and-drop placement, tap-to-upgrade, and menus that sit within thumb reach. Games that hide important buttons in top corners fail this test instantly.

Luxora came out well here, since almost every action lives in the lower half of the screen. Turn-based games also tend to work, because you're never fighting a clock while stretching your thumb.

If you play mostly on the move, check the controls before the graphics. A gorgeous game you can't comfortably reach is a game you'll stop opening.
