Dropline is eleven board games in one app, and eight of them are ranked. Every ranked game has its own Elo rating and ladder, from Wood up to Grandmaster. Power Battles Four in a row with powers. Your power charges as you play and you pick the moment to use it: drop a Bomb that clears the squares around it, freeze a column so they can't play there, or rewind their last move. In ranked, each side bans one power before picking. New powers are added over time, and you can star two as your mains. The ranked games • Classic: seven columns, first to four in a row wins • Spin: put a chip in any empty square, then flick its column so it flips end over end • Ghost: only the last eight moves stay on the board, so you play from memory • Gomoku: five in a row on a 15×15 board, and nothing falls • Power Battles • Big Tac Toe: four in a row on a 5×5 board • Vanish: you only ever have three marks, and a fourth takes away your oldest • Ultimate: nine small boards inside one big one, and where you play decides where they play next For fun • Tic-Tac-Toe, and Misère, where three in a row loses • Stack: bigger pieces cover smaller ones, and you can move a piece instead of placing a new one Ways to play Play online with a clock or without one, invite a friend with a link, take on the computer at eight levels from Rookie to Grandmaster, or pass one phone back and forth. Ranked games are played online. Power Battles also has tournaments, against the computer or with friends. Puzzles and getting better • Five new puzzles every day, plus Puzzle Rush and Endless • Journey: 150 levels of puzzles, each one checked by a solver • Learn: short tactics lessons • Game Review grades every move you made, lets you replay the game move by move, and shows what you missed when a move wasn't the best Streaks and levels A game or a puzzle keeps your daily streak going, and every seven days earns a rest day that covers a day you miss. Daily, weekly and monthly quests raise your level, which unlocks boards, chips, avatars and taunts. Friends Add friends, message them, challenge them, and see how they did on the daily puzzles. Every ranked game has its own leaderboard. Make it yours Themes, boards, chip sets and avatars, most of them free or earned as you level up. Dropline Pro Pro is optional.
