From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.

Do you know any games where there's no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I've never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.

Factorio. All about letting the factory grow.

I also started playing wizards of legend recently. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get through the tutorial, then it's just game. I'm enjoying it so far

Oh no there's a stoty all right. It's the story of thinking you're in Castaway, then finding out you're actually in The Lorax...as the Once-ler.
