Fifty traditional board games in one app. The Royal Game of Ur from Mesopotamia, Oware from Ghana, Bagh-chal from Nepal, Shogi from Japan, Mū tōrere from Aotearoa — alongside Backgammon, Chess and Turkish Draughts. Every game's rules were verified against its source, and the rule guide is built into the app: one tap while you play, with the goal, the board, the moves and the winning condition each set out separately. You never need to look elsewhere to learn a game you have not heard of before.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Board Games at none against Board Games's shown. Board Games's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
