■ What makes it different

TWO PLAYERS, ONE PHONE Lay the phone flat on a table and sit facing each other. Table mode splits the screen so both players get their own side. No account, no connection, no second device.

PLAY ALONE Every game has three CPU levels. Hard genuinely plays to win — search algorithms, not scripted mistakes. Easy is built to let a first-timer win.

COLLECT THE WORLD Every game came from somewhere. Play it and its birthplace lights up on a world map drawn from real coordinates. Sixty-six collectible cards hold the history of each game and the tactics that actually win.

COMPETE Weekly points and a daily challenge. Compare your score with other players if you want to — joining is optional, and only your score and a preset display name are ever sent.

NO NOISE Learn the rules by playing. Works with no signal. No ads anywhere in the app. Your data stays on your device.

■ Pricing Free to start, with six games unlocked forever. Unlock all 26 with a single purchase, or unlock one game at a time. Family Sharing included — up to six family members, no extra cost. No subscription.

For the family, for a friend, for a quiet evening. Collect the games of the world.

PLAY ONLINE Pick a secret word and play a friend far away. Just tell them the word — no sign-up, no account.
