Board games are known for making our minds more productive, whether we choose to play them on a screen or ‘by the book,’ on a physical board. But it’s a bit uncomfortable to have a board each time. That’s where playing a digital version of a board game is a lot more suitable, and you can even compete with many other people located thousands of miles away!
There are so many board games to choose from, and we gladly recommend you some of our favorite titles:
Carcassonne
The ‘Carcassonne – Tiles and Tactics’ game from the App Store is a new version of the famous board game that was multi-awarded. This latter version is in 3D, and it includes improved AI, new exclusive features, and a 3D landscape.
In Carcassonne, you have to make your kingdom come alive with tiles, meeples, and tactics. Simple!
Raiders of the North Sea
This is a nice game with impressive mechanics and lots of strategic ways to deal with it. Raiders of the North Sea is also a Viking-filled worker placement title, and it’s set in the Viking Age. The players will play the roles of Viking warriors willing to impress the Chieftain by raiding settlements.

Backgammon
