Beyond the tables there's more: solitaire, brain training, puzzles, cat games, simulations, an action RPG and short interactive stories, all in one app. Tap whichever you like, switch instantly, progress saves as you go โ€” put it down any time, pick it up any time. ใ€Gamesใ€‘ Board Games Mostly one on one, plus a few for four. - Names you know โ€” Chess, Go, Xiangqi, Shogi, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Gomoku, Reversi, Four in a Row, Dots and Boxes, Backgammon, Tic-Tac-Toe. - Less common, and worth the trip โ€” Janggi, Makruk, Hex, Nine Men's Morris, Mancala, Fanorona, King's Table, Breakthrough, Connect6, Pente, Jungle, Amazons, Lines of Action, Sliding Kings, Defection, Surakarta. - Modern designs โ€” XingYi, Dragon Towers, Four Traits, Wall Race, Corner Blocks. - Hidden pieces โ€” L'Attaque and Junqi hide enemy ranks; Banqi, Dark Jungle, Flip Junqi and Jieqi deal pieces face down, revealed as you play. Open Junqi shows every rank. - Four at the board โ€” Siguo Junqi, two teams of two. - Dice games โ€” Ludo (Chinese or international rules), Snakes and Ladders, Yacht Dice, Property Dice. Card Games Trick-taking, shedding, melding and bluffing games from around the world, each with its own rules and scoring. - Four at the table โ€” Sevens, Hearts, Spades, Euchre, Oh Hell, Truco, Big Two, President, Durak, Bridge, Race Upstream, Guandan, Tractor, Chase the Pig, Old Maid. - Three at the table โ€” Dou Dizhu, Run Fast, Thousand, Skat. - Two at the table โ€” Gin Rummy, Cribbage, Schnapsen, Escoba (or Scopa), Brisca, Chinchรณn.

Puzzle 2048 (4ร—4 and 5ร—5), Arcane Tower (with a tougher Trials mode), Lights Out, Mastermind, Color Flood. Cat Games Purr โ€” pet a moody cat just right and coins pour out, but mind the claws. Meow Sudoku in 6ร—6, 8ร—8 and 9ร—9, and Meow Queens: one cat per row, column and colored region, no two touching. Action RPG Energe Fighter โ€” kit out your fighter with energy types and gear, aim and charge each attack, grow stronger run after run. Simulation & Casual Sand Sim, Cosmic Heat and Color Life (a multi-color Game of Life) to watch or stir up; Minesweeper and Gravity Merge for a quick break. Interactive Story Short visual novels adapted from Greek mythology and classic fairy tales, with multiple endings you can reach in minutes. ใ€Featuresใ€‘ Local multiplayer โ€” same WiFi or hotspot, every board and card game with friends in the room. Board games seat two or four, card games two to four, AI filling any empty seat. Live previews โ€” games run live as you browse, so you never open one just to find out what it is. New games play themselves as a quick demo. Instant switching โ€” every game loads silently in the background, so switching is immediate, with no loading screens. Progress saves automatically. Shared rewards โ€” coins, gems and energy items work across every game. Earn them anywhere, spend them in the shared shop on gear for the whole collection. Both orientations โ€” card tables turn the screen to landscape, board games to portrait, and leaving turns it back. Inside a game the orientation is locked, so an accidental rotation never interrupts play. ใ€Privacyใ€‘ No account required, no sign-up. We don't ask for or collect your personal information.
