42 classic board and card games, one purchase, no subscription. Your opponents are illustrated characters who talk, hold grudges, and remember every game you have played against them.
Ten games are free. One small purchase unlocks the other 32 forever. No ads. No in-app currency. No account. Works fully offline.
NEW: THE GRAND TOUR
A competition every month against the cast, on its own tab: five cups of three games, one table, a final for the top four and an Awards night. Every game adds points, more for beating someone tougher and for winning well. The Open is free every week, against the whole cast; the cups come with the unlock. Start a Friends Cup with people you know, or a Family Cup on one device.
NEW: LESSONS ON THE REAL BOARDS
Every lesson now runs on the game's own board with its real pieces, and Chris, who made Boardalo, talks you through it in his own voice. Your first game afterwards is a gentle one.
FREECELL
Solitaire now has FreeCell beside Klondike, Spider and Pyramid, and one tap sends any card to the best place it can go.
THE COLLECTION (42 games)
Chess, Checkers, International Draughts, Russian Checkers, Turkish Dama, Backgammon, Tavla, Go, Xiangqi, Reversi, Nine Men's Morris, Hnefatafl, Oware, Kalaha, Ludo, Chinese Checkers, Halma, Snakes and Ladders, Royal Game of Ur, Yut Nori, Senet, Mahjong Solitaire, Klondike Solitaire, Peg Solitaire, Dominoes, Yatzy, Sudoku, Shut the Box, Sea Battle, Tic-Tac-Toe, Drop Four, Gomoku, Hex, Dots and Boxes, Paper Soccer, Crokinole and Carrom. Plus five card games: Cribbage, Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights, Go Fish and German Whist.
OPPONENTS WITH PERSONALITY
Digby, Bodge, Lord Grimalkin and Master Yuzu each have their own voice, moods and playing style, and a secret fifth character waits behind them. They keep your head-to-head record, sulk after a losing run, and react to every win, loss and comeback. It is not a difficulty slider; it is a rival worth beating.
AN OPPONENT THAT ACTUALLY THINKS
Chess, Checkers, Draughts, Reversi, Xiangqi, Oware and Nine Men's Morris run a real search that reads several moves ahead, and Chess plays from an opening book. Difficulty is thinking time, not a fixed depth. The free games include the Standard level, with no random slips, so you can judge it before you spend anything.

TWICE A YEAR, THE CAST GROWS
Ten more characters live in the app and appear only around Halloween and Christmas: a Victorian ghost who apologizes for winning, a jack-o-lantern with no memory, an elf who has been on her feet since October, a reindeer who has never made the team. They arrive on the day with nothing to download, and each season hides a fifth character until you beat the fourth.
Quiet, hand-drawn, full of character. Made by one person in Manchester.
