Inspired by a game, which I use to play with my grandmother while growing up in India. Traditionally, we use to play it using pencil and paper. Now, we will have iPhone/iPad version. Game is divided into tiles and each tile contains multiple bricks. Player and device proceed by tapping a brick and the one to claim last (4th in case of rectangular tile) wins the tile... Sounds simple...But it gets tricky. One wrong brick and you can give away multiple tiles in one single turn...
