Games that can be played one-handed

For the dancing man.
This is a list of games I own that can be played with one hand. I have automatically excluded any game that uses a hand of cards on the basis that even with card-holders, it can be too exerting to manage both cards and other stuff like chits or tokens.
Special note has been made of lighter games requiring less concentration.

Pros: is very good, and the only worker-placement game on the list.
Cons: lots of bits, though only one kind of thing needs to be manipulated at a time.
