SlatesArcade vs Crown Jack

Forty-two games for Apple Watch. Cards, board games, puzzles, arcade action and a few things that just look good on your wrist — 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 — Aces Up, Crazy Eights, Cribbage, Go Fish, Pyramid Board — Backgammon, Checkers, Dominoes, Dots & Boxes, Four in a Row, Reversi, Salvo, Yacht Puzzle — 2048, Blackout, Bulls & Cows, Crates, Mines, Peg Solitaire, Sliding, Sudoku Action — Blocks, Bricks, Chomp, Glide, Hopper, Pinball, Runner, Snake Aim — 9-Ball, Bowling, Darts, Dogfight, Drift, Flick, Golf, Tilt Maze Eye Candy — 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 — 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.

Crown Jack is blackjack built for Apple Watch, and a full game on iPhone too. It is a game of skill with no in-game currency of any kind: the only thing you win or lose is points, and every item in the collection is earned by playing. HOW TO PLAY Beat the dealer without going over 21. Hit, stand, double for twice the points, or split a pair into as many as four hands. The dealer draws to 16 and hits a soft 17, so a six showing is weak and an ace is not. Every button keeps a fixed position, so nothing moves under your thumb mid-hand. SCORED ON SKILL A win is +1. A two-card 21 is +2. Doubling doubles the swing in both directions, +2 or -2, and costs you the right to draw again. Five cards without going over is a Five-Card Charlie: it wins outright, before the dealer's hand is even compared, and it is worth +3. A loss costs a point, which is what makes standing on 16 against a six a real decision rather than a formality. Your score never falls below zero, so one bad session cannot undo a good month. THE DAILY JACK One deck. Everyone. Every day. The shoe is seeded from the date, so every player in the world is dealt exactly the same cards and skill is the only variable. Five hands, one run, a streak to keep alive, and a complication to tell you when today's deck is still waiting. Everything the Daily Jack unlocks is free forever. 52 THINGS TO EARN Eighteen card backs, twelve card fronts, sixteen tables and six music tracks. Every one has a challenge attached: wins, hands played, two-card 21s, splits, doubles, dailies, cards dealt. Nothing is bought outright. The entire table is drawn in code rather than shipped as artwork, which is how 52 distinct looks fit in a tiny app. ON YOUR WATCH FACE Twelve complications, all drawn from live game data: your lifetime score, whether today's deck is unplayed, the table you are currently on, and a gallery that cycles through every table you have unlocked. Tap one to open the game and start today's run.
