sarakathleenuk,

Game help, please. Dad is stuck in hospital in US & bored out of his mind. I’m in UK. Need a turn taking game (like words with friends, but he hates word games).

He loves traditional games like dominoes & cards, but would like something new. He’s very unwell, anything complicated will go in the bin. His vision is ok, but tiny text will be a problem. We both have an iPhone.

Suggestions?

Retoots with helpful hashtags very appreciated thank you, I don’t know what to type 🫠

@sarakathleenuk have a look at https://boardgamearena.com - has loads of board and card games you can play by turn!

sarakathleenuk,

@sarakathleenuk For turned based card games you can’t go wrong with Lost Cities. It takes a few minutes to learn but once you do it’s super fun and very satisfying to play. There are various levels of AI opponents from easy to difficult and the music is awesome. One of my all-time fav iPhone turn-based games. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-cities/id465062454

yaitorr,

@sarakathleenuk, these aren't turn-based but he might still appreciate them. The pace and mechanics are quite chill. You can spend hours perfecting your strategy and creating something. Here they are:

🚇 Mini metro: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mini-metro/id837860959

🚘 Mini motorways: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mini-motorways/id1453901000

@sarakathleenuk Chess! Both Lichess and chess(dot)com has correspondence games where you take a turn whenever you have time

@sarakathleenuk OLO it’s an oldie but goodie. Simple concept, and I’ve played it with people far far away from me many times.

sarakathleenuk,

@MuseumShuffle thank you I’ll add it to my list to look into

@sarakathleenuk Most like the traditional games you mentioned: Quirkle and Cribbage are on iOS (as are many "classic" board games).

Codenames can be a two-player game and is available online (though not yet on iPhone, I think).

Reigns is a one-player that could be played cooperatively (complex story, but all you ever have to do is swipe left or right to make story choices/find new ways to puzzle your way through).

Wishing you both well.

sarakathleenuk,

@handmade_ghost thank you for the input, looking up quirkle but everything people are suggesting is going on my list 💚
