Everyone plays at once
Each player gets a side or a corner of the screen.
- Marble Rumble Four corners, four players, all flicking marbles onto a spinning plate at the same time. Free in the browser, no download. We make Marble Rumble, so of course it is on this list. Everything else here is someone else’s game, and we have no connection to any of them.
- 2 3 4 Player Games A free collection of quick minigames with one-touch controls, built for up to four people on the same device.
- 1 2 3 4 Player Games A similar free collection with in-app purchases: snakes, pool, sword duels and more for one to four players.
- Badland A dark, beautiful side-scroller with a local mode for up to four people on a single tablet.
Pass the tablet round
Slower games where one person plays at a time.
- Ludo King The classic board game. Its pass-and-play mode works for up to four round one screen.
- Monopoly The official app can be played on one device, and it is a good deal quicker than the box version.
- Tsuro A tile-laying board game about keeping your path on the board. Easy to teach and suits a tablet well.
- Out of the Loop A party game played on one phone or tablet: everyone knows the secret word except one person, who has to bluff.
- Heads Up! Hold the device to your forehead while everyone else gives clues. Works with any number.
