MINBAN: Board Games Together

One phone, placed in the middle. MINBAN is a collection of classic table games you play around a single phone. When two players sit face to face, the text on the far side is turned 180 degrees, so both can play from their own seats. With three or four players, you pass the phone around in turn. No account needed. Your players, records and settings are saved only on your device. A connection is needed only when you start a match, to load an ad. - 33 GAMES INCLUDED [Board and abstract] Gomoku / Reversi / Checkers / Chinese Checkers / Nine Men's Morris / Mancala / Four in a Row / Dots and Boxes / Hex / Hare and Hounds / Hasami Shogi [Shogi and chess] Shogi / Mini Shogi / Chess [Dice and race] Backgammon / Ludo / Yacht / Snakes & Ladders / Bingo [Cards] Sevens / Daifugo / Last Card / War / Speed / Blackjack / Texas Poker / Klondike / Spider / Memory Match [Tiles and traditional] Mahjong Solitaire / Koi-Koi / Dominoes / Hit & Blow - PLAY ALONE, TOO CPU opponents come in four levels: Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane. Raise the level for more of a challenge, and lower it if you cannot win. Klondike and Spider are single-player games to take your time with. Mahjong Solitaire can be played alone, or by 2-4 players taking turns to pick pairs from one shared pile. - YOUR HAND, ONLY ON YOUR TURN In games with hidden hands, such as card games, you pass the phone around. When it reaches the next player, a cover saying "(name)'s turn" appears, and the hand stays hidden until that player presses the button themselves. No one sees someone else's hand by accident. - REGISTER PLAYERS, KEEP RECORDS Register players with a name and a mascot, and overall results are kept by who played together. Pick a ready-made mascot or build your own from parts. To play without registering, choose "Guest". - SEE HOW TO PLAY IN PICTURES Even if you do not know the rules, "How to play" in each game shows a short demo that follows the moves on the board in pictures, right up to how the game is won. - YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Players, records and settings are stored only on your device and are never sent anywhere. No account is required. Showing ads uses the network, so see the privacy policy for how advertising IDs and similar data are handled. A connection is needed only when you start a match, to load an ad. With "Remove ads", you can play without a connection: always with the one-time purchase, or while the 30-day option lasts. - PRICING The app is free, and six games (Gomoku, Reversi, Memory Match, Sevens, Klondike and Speed) are always available. The rest can be unlocked with keys, in any order you like. New players receive five keys, so open a few and try them. More keys are available in the shop. Games you have not unlocked can still be played once per ad you watch, up to 5 times a day across all games. With "Remove ads" (one-time, or the 30-day option while it lasts), you get the same number of plays without watching ads. Ads may appear when a match starts and after it ends. In Klondike and Spider you can also watch an ad in exchange for a hint (you are asked each time whether to watch it). To remove ads, buy "Remove ads" in the shop. It comes as a one-time purchase or a 30-day option, and the 30-day option does not renew automatically. Note that unlocking games with keys does not remove ads; only "Remove ads" does. - WHEN TO PLAY • A quick game while chatting face to face • Playing on the one phone at hand while you wait • Testing your skills on your own
