About

The Spy

Features
Read full description

Identify the spy! One or more players are spies and the others will have to find them. Every player who isn't a spy will be given the same word - the spies won't know that word. Then, every player has to say a word (the spies too) and each and every player will have to find out, who is a spy (doesn't know the word) and who is a normal player. When the spy finds out the word before the players can identify the spy, they win. Otherwise the players win.

About

Triggle

Features
Read full description

Triggle is a strategy game for 2 to 4 players. Everyone plays for themselves. You can play with friends, with bots, or mix both. There must be at least one real player. The goal is simple: close triangles and earn points. How it works The board is made of connected dots. On your turn, you draw a line between two dots. If your line completes the last side of a triangle, you close it and get 1 point. Each turn gives you 30 seconds. So you need to think, but not for too long. When the game ends The game stops when: A player reaches 21 points or All lines on the board are used If the board is full, the player with the most closed triangles wins. Triggle is about planning ahead. You try to finish your own triangles, and at the same time block others from finishing theirs. Easy rules. Quick turns. One winner.
