Forty-two games for Apple Watch. Cards, board games, puzzles, arcade action and a few things that just look good on your wrist — all of them built for a small screen and a spare minute. Nothing here needs the internet. No accounts, no ads, no purchases, and nothing leaves your watch. Open a game and play. THE GAMES Cards — Aces Up, Crazy Eights, Cribbage, Go Fish, Pyramid Board — Backgammon, Checkers, Dominoes, Dots & Boxes, Four in a Row, Reversi, Salvo, Yacht Puzzle — 2048, Blackout, Bulls & Cows, Crates, Mines, Peg Solitaire, Sliding, Sudoku Action — Blocks, Bricks, Chomp, Glide, Hopper, Pinball, Runner, Snake Aim — 9-Ball, Bowling, Darts, Dogfight, Drift, Flick, Golf, Tilt Maze Eye Candy — Automata, Fractal, Langton's Ant, Life, Pendulum BUILT FOR THE WATCH, NOT SHRUNK TO FIT Tap and drag do most of it. Eleven games take the Digital Crown, where it is the better control — aiming a cue, putting spin on a bowling ball, changing the speed of a simulation — and two are steered by leaning your wrist. EVERY GAME EXPLAINS ITSELF How to Play sits in every game's menu: what winning means, and which control the game is actually listening for. No game leaves you guessing. IT REMEMBERS WHERE YOU WERE A dropped wrist or a notification does not cost you a game. The long ones keep their position — the sudoku grid, the cribbage hand, the crate you were pushing — and hand it back when you return. IT KEEPS SCORE Best scores where a score makes sense, fewest moves where that is the better measure, and a win-loss record against Otto, the opponent in ten of the games. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-08 Darts is easier to throw, and easier to see. • Tap anywhere on the screen to throw. The throw button is gone — where you tap has never mattered, only when. • The dartboard now fills the screen instead of sitting in a strip down the middle of it, with the score and your called target moved into the corners. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-01 Your game waits for you now. • Chomp, Hopper, Blocks, Bricks, Pinball, Dogfight, Flick and Drift keep your run when you leave. Come back and it's where you left it, held still until you tap. • Games no longer play on quietly while the screen is dimmed — they pause, and pick up when you look back. • Tilt Maze remembers the level you reached. • Clearing Mines now flags the mines you avoided, so a win looks like a win. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-31 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
