The kind of turn-based tactical JRPGs where you keep at least EXP if you lose/withdraw. I've always felt those are like playing solitaire. Shining Force, Arc the Lad, Bahamut Lagoon, Langrisser (aka Warsong), Tenchi Muyo RPG.
And turn-based strategy in general, all the way from Civilization.
In many freelancer games it can get pretty calm to just grind money by trading, going back and forth. Pirates!, Privateer...
Some of my old Master System games - ones that I've played a hundred times - fit to this. Especially comes to mind Rampage, a playthrough can be nice and calming.
