What a great topic! I am relatively new to PC games so I hope I will see a lot of good suggestions here.
I think word games and some card games have a lot of replay value. My favorite games in this category are: Bookworm Adventures, Word Web Deluxe and Word Travels. Jewel Quest Solitaire II is a good card game with a lot of variety.
I replay Caribbean Hideaway all the time. It is my go to game for relaxation and to heal my tired eyes.
I love to go back and play Azada and Madame Fate because of the mini-games. And after a few week of playing other games I don’t remember where the hidden objects are.
But I am new to this and I really am looking forward to seeing the responses of others on this topic.

A very good question indeed. My first casual game was Belle's Beauty Boutique and it is still on my computer, because the replay value is just awesome.

Under this aspect I also recommend strongly the Tradewinds series; it is in the tradition of Sid Meier's Pirates I would say and is as addictive as its idol :)
I would also mention Plantasia that offers stunning graphics, an intruiging story-line and a high difficulty. I could replay this game a dozen times :)
Additionally, Miss Management can easily compete with any (!!) other game when it comes to the plot - a soap opera mixed up with time management, my alltime favorite.
These are the games which come to my mind at first, but I will post again...at least I hope so. And I am looking forward to the suggestions of other players. -
My favorites are ones with good graphics and good stories. I would say that my favorites are Azada, Dream Chronicles (1 and 2), Ravenhurst, Madam Fate, and my latest fav Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes.

Azada is nice to replay and the Mystery Files Case. At the moment I am totally addicted to Dragonstone, being doing it 3 times already.

Tradewinds and Chocolatier are also good to play again. I've kept a few games on the computer and as I am on the FunPass at Gamehouse sometimes I reload all games that I didn't finish or don't remember. -
Azada is also on my list as well as Burger Rush,Cradle of Rome,Big Kahuna Reef(yes I'm a Match3 fan)MCF games,some Dash games,Alice Greenfingers,Turbo Pizza/Subs and there's more,I like to replay games that I can change how I play them with different upgrades or set ups or maybe change the outcome.

First of all, it the Wonderland series,there are 3 or 4 games, and believe me they are MAGNIFICENT.I even cannot call the genre of them,so unique they are.
Then, I agree about turtle odyssey 1 and 2,i adoreplatformers.There arealso great platformers like Brave Dwarves 2 with level packs,Flo! game,Schlumpiwutz Deluxe,Bud Redhead.
match-3 games- Qubeez all the parts,DYnomite Deluxe,Scrubbles,Blox forever
and some diggers,which can be played many-many times:Treasure Mole,Beetle Ju,Simpaplex(still cannot pass to the end,very difficult)
and I don`t know the genre,maybe puzzle, FiberTwig,a great game.All of them I`ve played 3 and more times. -
Thank you so much for your IMPRESSIVE idea, bibliophilia!!!

I love casual games, and have been playing for about 5 years. I am a big HOG fan, but sadly the are rarely very replayable. The game I play the most is Ricochet Infinity, it's my "go to" game when I get bored. There are thousands of new levels, usually several new ones daily. I also really like The Treasures of Montezuma for a bit of change.

(just realized the variety... *wow*)
I love HOGs, but, they don't usually lend themselves to replay... although I definately seem to get my money's worth by the time I finish them... *grin*
