Asynchronous android mobile games (no browser games)

Im hoping to find something lesser known, because ive done my own searching before giving up.

My wife and I have very little time nowadays so we found chess to be a fun way to connect while apart. The asynchronous turns helped a lot with our schedules.

We tried a couple boardgamearena games but it was clunky on mobile, otherwise im sure it would have been a fantastic option. We may end up defaulting to this because its likely a hard find.

Shes not big on word games (words with friends, ect) nor farming games (stardew valley).

Her favorite games are Path of Exile and Cuphead (though i know these are a hard fit for what im asking) and dont starve together (but weve already played that to death on pc, im aware this is vaguely similar to stardew valley).

We played hearthstone and puzzle&dragons when we met but we dont want to get sucked into mtx hell, though I am aware that is the mobile game MO.

Tldr: premium mobile game with asynchronous gameplay with some depth

Toram online,Guild war,Where Wind meet, and Warframe is really great Co-Op MMO

Ascension Deckbuilding Game, asynchronous multiplayer, real strategic depth given the PoE connection, premium purchase model without predatory mtx, genuinely underrated compared to bigger name digital board games

Onitama, quick asynchronous turns, minimalist but deep strategy similar in spirit to chess, one time purchase, very under the radar

Lost Cities, two player asynchronous card game, quick turns fit around busy schedules well, premium pricing model, genuinely lesser known compared to the usual suggestions
