Before screens, every street in the world had the same arcade. A handful of stones. A chalk circle. A stick, a rope, a pocketful of bottle caps. The games had different names in every language — beştaş in Istanbul, jacks in Brooklyn, knucklebones in ancient Greece — but they were the same games. Nobody owned them. Everybody remembers them. Sobe is a pocket anthology of twelve of those games, rebuilt from scratch as polished, one-hand arcade runs for iPhone. THE GAMES • Tipcat (Çelik Çomak · Gilli Danda) — flip the stick, strike it mid-air, count the meters • Fivestones (Beştaş · Jacks) — toss, sweep, catch before it lands • Marbles (Misket · Ring Taw) — knuckle down and knock them out of the ring • Hopscotch (Seksek · Amarelinha) — one foot, steady rhythm, mind the pebble • Conkers — crack the rival's conker at the bottom of its swing • Pogs (Menko · Tazos) — slam the stack, keep what flips • Seven Stones (Yedi Kiremit · Lagori) — bring the tower down, three balls at a time • Knucklebones (Aşık · Shagai) — take the golden king, wake no guards • Stone Skipping (Ducks & Drakes · Mizu Kiri) — flat and fast, count the bounces • Quoits (Horseshoes) — read the wind, land the ring • Bottle Caps (Chapas) — flick through the gates, hold the road • Jump Rope — load your legs, match the rope, survive the speed-up REAL PHYSICS, REAL FEEL Every game runs on a deterministic physics engine tuned for touch: drag-back flicks with a live power gauge, hold-to-charge jumps, timing windows you can read on screen. In Stone Skipping you can even throw by flicking your phone — a real wrist snap, measured by the motion sensors, on-device only. AN ANTHOLOGY, NOT JUST AN ARCADE Each game carries its culture card: where it comes from, what children call it on five continents, and the house rules — the vinegar-soaked conkers, the "keepsies" marbles, the pebble tossed backwards over a shoulder. Beat your best and share it as a golden-hour street poster. FAIR BY DESIGN • Every game is free to play, every day • One optional purchase unlocks everything, forever — including future games • No ads. No subscriptions. No coins, gems or timers. • No accounts, no tracking. Your scores live on your phone. • A single optional daily notification — off by default, explained before we ask The street is still there. It fits in your pocket now. Support URL: https://hahmetgezgin.github.io/sobe/support.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minicade at none against Sobe's 1. Minicade also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
