Free Simulation games you can play in your browser 16

Simulation games model a little world and let you play with it: ecosystems, cities, farms, physics or businesses. They are often calm, open-ended and endlessly replayable.

Many simulations have no fail state, which makes them ideal for relaxing experiments rather than high-score runs.
