Respected developer Freeverse appears to have come up trumps with this collection, covering all traditional board game bases with chess, checkers (draughts), reversi (Othello), four-in-a-row (Connect 4), backgammon, tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses) and something called Mancala. Presentation is generally good and control is easy, with taps to place and move pieces, but not being able to zoom in misses a trick. For some of the games, there is also a 2D and 3D option. Even with a selectable Strong opponent the Al is variable in quality. Most effort has gone into making the chess program give a decent game, whereas some of the others are much weaker. The backgammon also lacks options for scoring and doubling so is a poor choice for anyone wanting that game specifically. So, not a bad collection; there’s plenty of variety, but not the strongest Al or the best-looking games.
