Bring back the joy of classic tabletop gaming right on your screen! Whether you want to challenge your friends sitting right next to you or test your strategies against a smart offline opponent, this collection has you covered. Key Features: - True Local Multiplayer: Two iPhones, same room. Perfect for road trips, flights, and game nights. - Solo vs. AI: No friends around? Challenge a built-in computer opponent anytime, anywhere. - Offline-friendly: Solo mode needs no connection at all. Multiplayer connects directly over local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. No internet required. - Zero Distractions: No ads, no tracking, and no constant notifications. Our Pledge to you: - We believe games should be bought once and owned forever - NO Subscriptions - NO In-App Purchases - NO Hidden Fees - One-time purchase — full, unrestricted access to every game. The Games: FILLER Flood your color across the board. Each turn pick a color (any but yours or your opponent's current). Your territory recolors and absorbs every adjacent matching cell. Whoever owns more cells when neither side can grow further wins. Quick, ~3-minute matches. SPOTTER Hide your fleet of five emoji-themed ships, then hunt for theirs. Pick a fleet style — Animals, Plants, Fruits, Stars, or Faces — and your ships render as bears, flowers, cherries, whatever you choose. Take turns calling shots on a 10×10 grid. First to sink everything wins. PAIRS A 4×5 grid of face-down emoji cards. Flip two per turn — match and they stay up and you go again; mismatch and they flip back. Pure recall. Pick from five emoji decks for variety. PUSH CARD A tile-cascading puzzle. Each side has a 4×7 block to sort. Push a tile into one of your columns — it slides in, ejects another tile, and the ejected tile becomes your next push. Chains continue until the blank pops out and the turn flips. First to fully sort all 28 of their tiles wins. Pick your tile pattern (bamboo, circles, animals, plants, fruits, stars, or faces) for each side. GLYPH A two-player hand-builder. 72-tile wall, two colour-coded suits, ranks 1–9. Draw a tile, discard a tile, build toward a 14-tile winning hand: four sets (three-of-a-kind or three-in-a-row) plus a pair. Claim your opponent's discards to complete sets. Strategy meets pattern recognition. CHAIN A color-and-symbol card matcher. 7-card hand, one card flipped to start the discard pile. On your turn play a card that matches the top discard by color or by symbol. If you can't, draw — the drawn card auto-plays if it fits, otherwise lands at the end of your hand. Empty your hand first to win. — LOCAL MULTIPLAYER — Get two iPhones near each other. One taps "Host a game"; the other taps "Join a game". The app uses Apple's MultipeerConnectivity over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — no internet, no accounts, no signup. Just two phones in the same room. No second player around? Every game has a solo-vs-AI mode that's actually fun. — WHY THIS COLLECTION — - A growing collection of original games - Local multiplayer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth - Solo vs AI in every game - No ads, ever - No in-app purchases - No subscriptions - No accounts, no signup, no tracking - Buy once, play forever - Family Sharing supported — one purchase covers up to six family members - Built by an indie developer, not a studio — PRIVACY — We collect no data of any kind. Multiplayer connects two phones directly — never the internet, never any server. No third-party SDKs, no analytics, no ad networks, no telemetry. — FOR FAMILIES — Rated 4+. No violence, no chat, no in-app purchases. Family Sharing-enabled. Designed for road trips, plane rides, kid game nights, couches at parties, and the occasional waiting room.
