I can definitely recommend FTL: Faster Than Light. I still play it after many years in the exact same way you describe, that is short sessions. t's all based on battles that last minutes at most while part of an overall campaign. You can quit anytime, even during battle, and it will just saw the state. You can pause during battle to think as well.
it also has simple rules but with a lot of depth. You upgrade your ship from time to time and also get new weapons or defences. It actually sounds like a perfect fit for what you want. It's cheap too.
Yes, played and liked it. Never managed to beat the final boss. Maybe I should try again...
there is also a significant modding community, with FTL Multiverse being a complete overhaul/expansion
Definitely try again because there's so much depth when you unlock new ship designs that are manned by other races than just human. Every time I boot it up I'm surprised how quickly 3 hours zaps by.
I think I did unlock new ships but it was ever harder to play with them. Do you have to win the last fight to get new ships?
Definitely. Just start on easy mode and make sure you upgrade your engines. :)

A friend recommended mi this some time ago. Will check it out, thanks.
It's free on Android and iOS if you have a Netflix account.
Good to know, thanks!
