The third game has the best multiplayer, so if you like couch coöp, start with that.
The fourth game wears on a bit, and is probably the least of the series but still very fun.

Setting is "crashed on an island with nothing, better grab some wood" but let's just say what kind of ship crashed and how is a big part of the plot. But forget the plot, because the game loops are so tight and satisfying that I found myself glued to it for hours. After finishing the demo, I am trying to restrain myself from buying the full gabe until after I catch up on household chores and paperwork.

Two examples:
Pixel Dungeon is a loving homage to PC's Brogue, probably my favorite roguelike. But Brogue isn't available on mobile and PD is the next best thing.
Triple Town was great but is no longer available for android. I'll play a different merge-three game that's almost as good when I'm in the mood.

But I did discover that the local band I was planning to patronize (Chicago's own Beach Bunny) has their full catalogue at the public library! So I'm checking it out from there instead.
