Parlor turns any group text into game night. Pick a game, make your move, and it lands in the chat as a message - your friend taps it to play theirs. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. The whole game travels inside your texts. FIVE GAMES AT LAUNCH CHAIN LETTER - A 90-second word duel. Drag through letters to chain words while the tiles stack up. Your rival gets the exact same board - and your junk-tile attacks land on their stack. YETI RUN - Ski the same mountain as your rival. Carve around trees, rocks, and snowmen at ever-increasing speed while the yeti closes in from behind. One wipeout ends the run. Ski past their flag to win. FLOTILLA - Naval battle, one salvo per text. Hide your fleet on an 8x8 grid, then hunt theirs shot by shot. Direct hits, sunken ships, and bragging rights. CORNHOLE - Eight bags, shared wind. Flick for the hole: 3 points in, 1 on the board. Your rival throws into the same gusts. TIC-TAC-TOE - The classic, one move per text. HOW IT WORKS Open the Messages app, tap the plus button, and pick Parlor. Choose a game and play your turn - it sends as a message. Timed games are fair by design: both players face the identical board, mountain, or wind. Turn games enforce whose move it is. Play a quick round with your group chat rival, your sibling, or that friend who thinks they are unbeatable at naval battle. The rematch is always one text away.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Parlor at none against Pasta Machine's 10. Parlor also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pasta Machine's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
