This isn't your average board game! Whoops!! brings the fun of timeless "cross and circle" games to your tablet or phone. Move around the board clockwise and try to get all four of your pieces into the ending area. Different cards influence your movement and enable you to perform special moves that can quickly turn the tides on your opponents. But be careful! Your opponents have access to the same set of moves. Gameplay is rapid-paced, as cards that contain invalid moves will slide off-screen automatically. No time is wasted in-between turns. Progress bars and ranks in the four corners of the screen will keep you up to date on where you stand in comparison to the other players. Your pieces have personality as well! Watch as they react to the events that occur around them whenever you make a move. Special cards can also activate cutscenes featuring your pieces going head-to-head with opponents!
