About

Tegnbingo

Features
Read full description

Et spill for opp til fire spillere på samme iPad. Man må se på håndtegnene for å vite hvilken bokstav som skal trykkes på. Håndtegnene følger det norske enhåndsalfabetet. Hver spiller kan skifte mellom små og STORE bokstaver. I innstillingene kan man velge hvilke(t) tegn som skal vises for W, X og Å. Den første som får fem bokstaver på rad, vinner. Det kan være vannrett, loddrett eller på skrå. Appen inneholder ikke reklame, lenker eller kjøp-i-app.
