About

StackJack

Read full description

Stack Jack is a fast card race. Flip, stack, and clear the pile before anyone else does. Rounds take a couple of minutes, and the difference between winning and losing is usually half a second. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Create a room, share the code or the link, and start. Up to a full table, no accounts, no setup. Anyone who taps your invitation lands straight in the room. PLAY ALONE Bots at every difficulty, including one that will genuinely beat you. Practice a shuffle, learn the timing, then take it back to the table. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Every round counts toward the season. Track your wins, your fastest clears, and where you land against everyone else. Seasons reset, so a bad week is only a bad week. UNLOCK CARD BACKS Keep playing and keep collecting. Cosmetic only, nothing that helps you win. LEARN IN A MINUTE A short tutorial walks you through your first round. After that it is all reflex.

About

Coil Climb

Features
Read full description

Not your typical snakes and ladders. Coil Climb turns the classic board game into a 3D party of power-up cards, races against the clock and wild twists on every roll. Play offline with friends or bots on one iPhone or iPad. Roll the dice, climb the ladders, dodge the snakes and land exactly on 100 to win. Then add the twists: bump rivals back three squares, set a Trap that turns any square into a snake, and race the clock on a rainbow board. No two matches play the same. POWER-UP CARDS\ • Reroll: throw the dice again when a roll goes wrong\ • Shield: block the next snake before it bites\ • Trap: hide a surprise snake for your rivals to land on THREE WAYS TO PLAY\ • Classic: pure snakes and ladders, just the dice\ • Party: power-up cards, Bump and event squares\ • Race: a five minute match.
