Farm Town on Facebook looks like it's pretty successful and is living proof a range of age groups can enjoy a game. Some people go on it and give it away after a couple of days. Some go hard and give up after about level 20 something. Most people jog along and have bursts of growth. It is popular because you build a farm, set it up how you want, plant, harvest, go to the markets. There is a certain amount of repetition but it is not mind numbing unless you set it up that way. It's a time management game and all age groups and both dexes get a feeling of success from it. It is proof that people are looking for something a little less obvious in games. Some of the appeal is the graphics. The trees and plants look good and the animals are cute. It is certainly a stress buster!
