A casual game is a video game targeted at or used by a mass audience of casual gamers.

Casual games can have any type of gameplay, and fit in any genre.

They are typically distinguished by their simple rules and lack of commitment required in contrast to more complex hardcore games.

They require no long-term time commitment or special skills to play, and there are comparatively low production and distribution costs for the producer.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or another computer network.
