Classic Board Games For The iPhone: Big Band Board Games
Classic Board Games
Who doesn’t remember gathering on the floor with the rest of your family as a kid on a Friday night to have a play of Monopoly or Cluedo? It was a great little treat on those rainy nights that brought the whole family together in a unique way!
Board games have been making their migration over to the computer gaming world for years now - most recently they’ve been finding their way onto the Wii and DS platforms in a truly fun way.
And now we can finally have a play with the most popular board games on the iPhone platform…if ever you wanted to find the best possible addictive games for the iPhone then surely these will be them?
Bringing back the classics…
Alright so we’re not talking about the likes of Scrabble and Password but you can still get your hands on some pretty funky classic board games that’ll keep you entertained for days!
What you need to do is download the Big Band Board Games app from Freeverse. The app contains some of the best, most well known board games you have ever played all in one tidy little package.
The app holds 7 classic board games so you’re not only getting value for your pennies you’ll also be getting a good amount of gaming experiences! In the pack you get Checkers, Chess, Reversi, Mancala, 4-in-a-Row, Backgammon and Tic-Tac-Toe.
With the games you get the chance to play the games either on your own or against a mate so the options for fun are pretty much doubled! However the multiplayer gaming isn’t available through wi-fi until a future release apparently.
How good is the pack?
The games work well as you would image - after all there isn’t much to get wrong. You either like the games or you don’t, theses versions of the games aren’t going to be attracting any new players.
As you would image you can also mess around with the difficulty levels so you can really push yourself to the limit if you wanted to.
You might also be worried about the tiny pieces in the games compared to the big size of your fingers but fear not - the game seems to work nicely when you’re looking to select pieces of the games so don’t fret if you’re retaining water!
But the question is do these classic board games really float your boat? Do you really want to pay money for these classic board games that you could play for free online using flash sites using your PC?
I don’t know if I would - the handset I was using 5 years ago had many of the games in this pack, so the thought of paying for something that you don’t really need to isn’t always the most attractive move - however if you’re looking for a pack of games to provide some entertainment then this is definitely the pack for you!
