Offline board games for game night, a long train ride or a quiet five minutes: every game works with no internet at all. Play single player against the computer, with up to three levels, 2 player games with a friend on one phone, or up to four players in Ludo and Snakes & Ladders.

THE GAMES
• Ludo (a cousin of Parcheesi): 2 to 4 players, every seat a person or the computer. Classic with four pawns, or Quick with two. Roll a 6 to leave your yard, capture rivals and bring your pawns home.
• Chess: castle, take en passant, promote your pawns and checkmate the king. Ivory and ebony pieces on a walnut and maple board.
• Snakes & Ladders (Chutes and Ladders): 2 to 4 players, climb the ladders, slide down the snakes, first to 100 wins.
• Checkers (draughts): jump to capture, crown your kings, choose whether captures are compulsory.
• Backgammon: race your checkers home, hit and block, undo before you commit; gammon and backgammon count 2 and 3.
• Reversi (Othello): trap your rival's discs between yours and flip them. Ivory and black on green felt.
• Tic-Tac-Toe: noughts and crosses, the quick one.
• Four in a Row (Connect Four): drop your discs and line up four.
