I'm very interested in these as well as physics games. I think they are accessible ways to get students or citizens involved in doing mathematics as mathematicians do it. The following are some of what I have found and collected online with eye towards encouraging reasoning. Stack Exchange wouldn't let me post too many links here, so I collected them in a Tumblr post: https://mathhombre.tumblr.com/post/45269554617/online-games-with-some-math-content

Traditional: Minesweeper and Lights Out.

New, in rough order of how much I like them.
