Today I spent a tad more time than I care to admit on Dominus. It's a... slow-time strategy game, if you'll excuse my terminology, and it's actually quite fun.
It's a medieval-themed game where you mainly just build armies and send them to battle with other armies and take the castles of other players. If you take their castle, they become your vassal. Vassals stack like a tree, and any vassals under a player transfer with them. You can also rebel against your lords and make them your vassals if you win. So, eventually, everyone will be in a single vassal-lord tree, and then it becomes a game of who can stay at the root node of that tree (the lord of all) for two days. If you manage that, you win the game.
There's more depth to it than that, but it's still quite slow-paced, so by no means will you always have something to do. I wonder how much dedication it actually requires, as well as how bad things will get once you haven't tended to your lands over the night. I don't really have hope I'll play it for a longer while due to having to routinely attend to it, but it sure is fun for now. Stock market jokes are quite something right now.
