Seven cosy games for a slow evening
Gentle titles that are easy to pick up and hard to put down.
We'll walk through it step by step, then leave you with a short checklist you can come back to.
The goal isn't perfection — it's something sensible you can keep doing on a normal, busy week.
There's no single right way to do it; the best method is the one you'll actually keep using.

Everything here is general information — use your own judgement and adapt it to your situation.
A little planning up front saves a surprising amount of effort later on.
When in doubt, do less but do it more consistently; steady beats intense almost every time.
If you take one thing from this article, let it be that consistency quietly does most of the work.
