Classics with a computer to beat

Chess and Checkers each have five computer levels, from beginner to master, with hints and undo while you learn. Reversi is about flipping discs and taking the corners, and Four in a Row about connecting four before your opponent does. Tic-Tac-Toe runs from easy to unbeatable, with bigger boards for a longer game.

Family favourites

Ludo races four tokens home, with safe stars, captures and house rules to choose from. Snakes & Ladders is the dice game everyone already knows. Both play with bots, or pass one phone around the table.

Carrom and 8-Ball Pool are games of aim and power: place the striker or line up the cue, pull back and shoot. Each has computer levels and a pass-and-play mode.
