The Average game is a game of numbers somewhat inspired by one of the games from the Netflix-series "Alice in borderland". The goal of the game is to pick a number as close to the average of the sum of all the players picked numbers as possible. If you get closest to the average you will earn a point. If you are not the closest you will lose a life. You get 100 lives at the start of the game. When all 100 lives are gone the score will be reset and you have to start over. Keep earning points by winning and get extra lives by keeping a winning streak. Your highest score will automatically be submitted to the leaderboards if you chose to play the online mode. Seems easy enough, yes? However, you cannot pick any number you want every turn. Each turn the rules for which numbers will be valid changes. Game features: - Somewhat addictive gameplay. - Rules that change each turn. - Game Center support.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Borderland Arena at none against The Average game's 1. Borderland Arena also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 67%) and ratings volume (22 vs 6). The Average game's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Average game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Borderland Arena asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Average game holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of The Average game's written reviews are positive against 78% of Borderland Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
