Forty-two games for Apple Watch. Cards, board games, puzzles, arcade action and a few things that just look good on your wrist โ€” all of them built for a small screen and a spare minute. Nothing here needs the internet. No accounts, no ads, no purchases, and nothing leaves your watch. Open a game and play. THE GAMES Cards โ€” Aces Up, Crazy Eights, Cribbage, Go Fish, Pyramid Board โ€” Backgammon, Checkers, Dominoes, Dots & Boxes, Four in a Row, Reversi, Salvo, Yacht Puzzle โ€” 2048, Blackout, Bulls & Cows, Crates, Mines, Peg Solitaire, Sliding, Sudoku Action โ€” Blocks, Bricks, Chomp, Glide, Hopper, Pinball, Runner, Snake Aim โ€” 9-Ball, Bowling, Darts, Dogfight, Drift, Flick, Golf, Tilt Maze Eye Candy โ€” Automata, Fractal, Langton's Ant, Life, Pendulum BUILT FOR THE WATCH, NOT SHRUNK TO FIT Tap and drag do most of it. Eleven games take the Digital Crown, where it is the better control โ€” aiming a cue, putting spin on a bowling ball, changing the speed of a simulation โ€” and two are steered by leaning your wrist. EVERY GAME EXPLAINS ITSELF How to Play sits in every game's menu: what winning means, and which control the game is actually listening for. No game leaves you guessing. IT REMEMBERS WHERE YOU WERE A dropped wrist or a notification does not cost you a game. The long ones keep their position โ€” the sudoku grid, the cribbage hand, the crate you were pushing โ€” and hand it back when you return. IT KEEPS SCORE Best scores where a score makes sense, fewest moves where that is the better measure, and a win-loss record against Otto, the opponent in ten of the games.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SlatesArcade at none against DiceDeck's 1. SlatesArcade also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). DiceDeck's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
