Personally, I have been hooked on Kittens Game. Now, fair warning, it does contain a modicum of anticommunism, in the way you can research the cultural tech 'socialism' with the description "does nothing". That's it.

Now as for the game, you develop a civilization of kittens, keep them fed and they gather resources. You spend resources to gather and store more resources to reinvest into science and culture production. Then you start getting workshops, steam engines to auto-craft advanced materials, synergizing buildings, power management, foreign relations, trading, discovering new civilizations, extracting oil and uranium, happiness management, pollution levels, space exploration, praising the sun, sacrificing unicorns, and more that I have to reach after many many hours of clicking buttons.
