Pickout is the game for all the family! Download once and Play on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. It's not a game of skill or strategy, Pickout is a game of chance which means that mum, dad and even the grandparents can be fairly beaten by a child. Play offline with no internet connection required and no adverts! Pickout can be played by 2-6 players. Pickout Classic is played by passing the device to each player in turn for them to complete their counter by randomly selecting a coloured disc from the Pickout bag. Pickout Gold adds another level of excitement as the game can be instantly won by choosing the gold disc. Pickout demonstrates the rule of probability by accurately reducing the chance of selecting your chosen coloured disc as more discs are collected from the bag.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Night match at none against Pickout's 1. Night match also leads on price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Pickout's advantage is update cadence (every 13 months vs every 42 months) and device support (5 vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
