FlipClever has been developed for families. You can play against each other or against the computer and there is easy levels and small board dimensions for children. FlipClever is a classic board game for two players. It is easy to learn, but needs a lifetime to master. The game principle of FlipClever is similar to Reversi or Othello. One player has the white pieces, the other player has the black pieces. Alternately the players put a piece on the board, trying to capture the opponents pieces and flip them into the own color. The winner at the end is the player with the most pieces on the board. The app comes completely in English including the readable game rules. There is NO advertising in the app. The app comes in two versions, a free version and a premium version. With the premium version you can manage multiple player profiles, play different board sizes, different difficulty levels and you can play human versus human.
