Here is Denmark’s most popular board game as an app! The app is based on the tactical board game Partners, where you play 2 vs 2. The game can best be described as a new take on Ludo with cards, and the goal is to be the team of partners that first gets all their pieces home. It’s all about teamwork and strategic thinking – it’s not enough to focus only on your own pieces! The app offers many possibilities that you don’t normally have in the physical board game. First of all, players don’t need to be in the same place – you can play with people from all over the world. You also don’t have to be exactly four players as in the board game. In the app you can play with 1, 2 or 3 other players online, or alternatively play with and against built-in bots whose skills range from very easy to extremely challenging. And just like in real life, there is of course also a completely unpredictable bot in the app that plays like a true wildcard…! You can also choose to play offline in single mode with a robot partner against robot opponents. In this app, you decide everything yourself – the choices are yours! You can play live online or with up to 48 hours per move, and you can easily have many games running at the same time if you can keep track (: ***Warning: This game, just like the board game version, is HIGHLY addictive and can steal a lot of your time.*** Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
