About

Hirnschmaus

Read full description

Six board game classics for on the go — against an opponent that really thinks. No account, no ads, no network needed. Open the app and play. THE GAMES • Nine Men's Morris — place your men, close mills, box your opponent in • Four in a Row — four in a line, upright, across or diagonal • Draughts — take what can be taken, and get yourself crowned • Reversi — every move flips the majority • Twist Five — five in a row, but every move rotates a quarter of the board • Sink the Fleet — find their ships before they find yours THREE LEVELS Easy, Medium and Hard are not labels. The computer searches to a different depth on each level; on Hard it takes its time and finds moves that hurt. If you want to win, you have to get better. DAILY CHALLENGE Two puzzles a day, the same for everyone — they follow the calendar day, not chance. Win both and your streak grows; a draw counts too. Skip a day and it starts over. GETTING STUCK IS ALLOWED The rules of every game are one tap away. And when nothing works at all, a hint will show you a move worth making. YOUR PROGRESS Statistics track wins, games and losses — overall and for each game separately. Plus 16 achievements, from your first win to a streak of thirty days. Sign in to Game Center if you like, and you will find your achievements and three leaderboards there too. If you would rather not, you miss nothing: everything is kept on your device anyway. FOR IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad in every orientation, with boards that use the space. Light and dark appearance, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver. Music, sound effects and vibration can each be switched off on their own. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No ads. No purchases. No analytics. No account — Game Center is optional, and nothing is missing without it. Your progress stays on your device.
