Wrist Checkers vs SlatesArcade

Checkers for Apple Watch — a full game of English draughts, sized for your wrist. Tap a piece and tap where it goes. Taps snap to the nearest legal square, so you are never fighting the small screen. Your movable pieces are marked, legal destinations light up, and anything a jump would capture is flagged before you commit to it. • Three difficulty levels, from a forgiving opponent to a search that will take your pieces apart • Full English draughts rules — forced captures, multi-jumps tapped out one hop at a time, crowning • Multi-jumps count as a single move, so undo takes the whole chain back • Your game is saved automatically; pick it up mid-move days later • Runs entirely on the watch. No iPhone, no account, no network, no data collected

Eleven games take the Digital Crown, where it is the better control — aiming a cue, putting spin on a bowling ball, changing the speed of a simulation — 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 — the sudoku grid, the cribbage hand, the crate you were pushing — 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.
