Tic-Tac-Toe & 11 Board Games

Tic-Tac-Toe and eleven more board games: play against the phone or share one device for a game together.

How it works
1. Choose a board game and the players.
2. Choose the phone’s difficulty level.
3. Take turns and follow the rules shown below the board.

Ideal for
For a quick duel, a two-player break or a change between strategy and dice games. Ludo and snakes and ladders support two to four players.

Features

Tic-Tac-Toe and Four in a Row include hints, move lists, a local archive with replay and file exchange, an introduction and tactics exercises. Use duel undo, favorites and names. Themes, zoom and rotation adjust the view. Watch two computer players or use the automatic level. Long-term statistics, a practice score and achievements track progress; sounds, music, haptics and move animations have separate controls.

Against the phone
• Easy: the phone often plays at random
• Medium: it takes sure wins and blocks direct threats
• Hard: it thinks further ahead and is hard to beat
The phone calculates right on the device and moves without a long wait. In the Ladder Game and Ludo, each seat can be played by a person or by the phone (at least one by a person).

Two players or a whole group
Take turns on the same device; who starts alternates every round. Every game keeps its own persisted score (wins, plus draws in the board games), and at the end of each game the result is clearly shown. Short rules sit right below each board. Tap areas as large as the board allows, a preview before placing in Gomoku, separate buttons for the Ludo pieces and screen reader descriptions make it easy to use.

Your benefits
Noughts and crosses starts with a simple goal: line up three of your marks. Xs and Os sits alongside other board game classics in this collection.

One device is enough. The result is shown at the end of each game; switch to a different board for the next round without changing apps.

From the first move until the game is decided, the ad banner is gone; before and after, a small banner sits at the bottom. Between games a full-screen ad may appear now and then – at most after every fourth game and never in the middle of one. In games without dice, you can directly take back your last move together with the phone’s reply. The games need no internet – only the ads use a connection. A one-time purchase removes the ads permanently.

No account and no real-money gaming. Games and scores are kept after restarting the app.
