I am playing a couple of games on hive now.
I started with dcity last year, and built a well enough city by investing and re-investing in it.

Then dcrops, then rising star.

All these games do not require much activeness. You can check them daily, or after a few days, maybe once a week(except rising star, which needs a few click every hour or so in the background, which is fun).

But the thing is, it's fun and you can earn a couple of dollars every now and then. Also, you get to know more people.

Thanks for sharing about the ape mining club, I will check it out, and see what's it about.
