Checker vs Wits & Bets

With Checker-wise you can play international 10x10 checkers. Its most unique feature is an interface to the database of the games of the Dutch national checkers competition. A lot of attention has been paid to the graphics, with the aim to make it look beautiful, without any distracting bling-bling. All moves are animated. You can choose from 2 different sets of pieces. Checker-wise has VoiceOver integration, making it the only mobile checkers application which is fully accessible to blind users. PLAY Games can be either for 1 or 2 players, and either with or without a clock. Of course, all the standard features like swapping sides or rotating the board are available. The engine contains a strong opening book. ANALYZE Checker-wise contains a separate screen for analyzing positions. You can try out side variations and return to the main line with a simple double tap on the corresponding move in the move list. You can ask the engine for an evaluation. SETUP You can setup a position using an intuitive interface. REPLAY Look through the game you just played, and email the game notation, or copy it to the clipboard. TOURNAMENT BASE Checker-wise contains an interface to all of the games of the Dutch national checker competition. You can not only play through the games of the masters, but also analyse their games with the onboard engine, or take over the play from any position. And new games are added every week! EXERCISES Finally, there is a large collection of exercises which keeps track of which ones you've solved. Each of these features alone is worth the price of Checker-wise! And regular updates expand the possibilities of Checker-wise even more. Checker-wise is based on the Tjes engine (developed by me in 1996). Enjoy!

A deck of trivia cards runs out. This one doesn't. Wits & Bets Companion is a question deck for number-guessing party trivia. It replaces the cards, not the board: the app reads out a question, everyone at the table writes down a number, and you bet on whose guess is closest. Every answer is a number nobody knows. That's the point. These questions aren't written to be known, they're written so the whole table has to reason its way toward an answer and then argue about it. A DECK THAT KEEPS GROWING New packs appear in the app as they're released. You don't update anything and you don't lose your progress. That's the whole reason this exists: the cards in a box are finite, and a game night isn't. WHAT'S IN IT - A free starter deck, plus expansion packs you own forever - Six kinds of answer: years, quantities, percentages, money, measurements and durations - Switch any pack or answer type out of tonight's deck - A discard pile you can swipe back through when an answer gets disputed - Sources and dates on the cards that need them, so the argument has somewhere to go WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Every pack you own lives on your device. The whole game works in a basement, a cabin or a plane. Only buying a new pack needs a connection. BUILT FOR YOUR TABLE Metric or imperial, switched in one tap, and it changes the question as well as the answer. A Child friendly setting keeps questions about drink and drugs out of the deck. FOUND A WRONG NUMBER? Tap the flag and tell us. Corrections reach every device, so the deck gets better the more it's played. Wits & Bets Companion is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any board game publisher.
