Card Thief: in the thief's shadow

A card game of the solitary type, Card Thief will appeal to your brain and your stealth. Once slipped into the shoes of a thief, your mission is to pilfer a maximum of treasures in the various castles that you will visit, in all discretion.

The game takes the form of a board on which there are three rows of three cards (yes, nine in total). Your card is that of the thief. The other eight represent treasures, guards, torches and an escape route.

All the subtlety of the game rests on your ability to steal a maximum of treasures without being caught by the guards, while finding the exit.

You will therefore be in constant search of a perfect itinerary, which you will have to define and definitively validate to end your tour. Rest assured, you will therefore have the right to make a mistake when choosing your way through the castle.

Card Thief is a game that is simple to learn, complex to master and terribly addictive, which, although played solo, encourages "scoring". Indeed, you will be asked to accumulate more and more treasures to obtain a better ranking.

Obviously, the game can be finished for free, the paid version only serving to offer you additional equipment to help you progress faster in the adventure.

Zentris: the Tetris of Zen people

Tetris has definitely never finished growing pups. Zentris takes up the main principles of the gameplay of the cult title, adding an interesting three-dimensional dimension. In Zentris, the bricks do not move: it's up to you to rotate the board horizontally to reveal the best locations and succeed in making lines.

Colors are also important. As the difficulty increases, the blocks consist of two, three, four or five layers of colors (always respecting the same order). It is then necessary to take into account the shape of the blocks, but also their colors to achieve a maximum of line and improve the score.

Bonuses fortunately come to your aid to explode certain blocks when you have made a succession of bad choices and you find yourself stuck.

Zentris also stands out from other games of the genre by its “Zen” atmosphere characterized by pastel colors and soft music that makes you want to play snuggled up under your duvet on a winter evening - or in a hammock in the mild summer , Up to you.

We still regret that the game is only in English, and that the difficulty increases a little too quickly. The paid options, although not necessary, also arrive a little too quickly to help you beat your high score ...

Daddy Long Legs: the breakout game

If you are the type to rage at the first difficulty in a game, you can immediately go your way. Daddy Long Legs is part of this terribly addicting, but also terribly frustrating, game category. Which dimension will take precedence over the other? Only you can answer!

The principle of Daddy Long Legs is extremely simple: your character must walk as far as possible. The difficulty ? He has legs five times larger than his body!

Just touch the screen to advance one leg, and repeat to advance the other. Admittedly, the gameplay is of a childish simplicity, but the difficulty is there, residing in the timing necessary to manage the more than precarious balance of "Daddy" who leans as well backwards as in front, and which systematically ends its race face down.

It's up to you to beat your record by making it walk as far as possible. Over the levels, costumes slightly change the way of playing. The game is partially translated into French, but some elements of the interface remain in English.

It's a shame that the ads are far too present (and long) between two parts, that we chain very quickly. This somewhat spoils the overall fun of the game. Hopefully the developers will ease up on this.


Underhand: join the cult

Management games, there are tons. There are also a lot of card games. On the other hand, card games offering you to manage a sect, there are very few!

That's what Underhand offers you, a solo card game that puts strategy at the heart of its gameplay.

As the great leader of your cult, you must manage your sect on a daily basis and make it flourish. This involves recruiting new "cultists" to grow the ranks, while accumulating money.

You will obviously have to engage in all kinds of activities without attracting the attention of the authorities and making sure to satisfy the gods you worship.

You are presented with a card for each round. It represents an event, to which you will be able to react in three different ways.

Each proposal of course requires resources, which correspond to the cards you have in hand. Each of your choices will consume resources and / or bring you new ones.

Although a bit repetitive and only available in English, Underhand deserves a closer look, for its originality, its atmosphere and the sometimes delicate moral choices before which it places you.

Onitama: when martial arts meet failures

Take a chess game, change the rules for moving pieces, and add a touch of martial arts. Welcome to Onitama!

But don't be intimidated: this game takes you by the hand from the first second to explain the rules to you and, in a few minutes, literally taps you to your screen.

By using a system of maps to guide the movement of your pawns on the game board, Onitama relies on an easy-to-understand mechanic, although it requires a lot of thought to overcome your antagonist.

The principle is simple: defeat your opponent by taking his "king" or by moving yours to the square that the opposing king occupies at the start of the game.

If seeing your opponent's movement cards helps you to anticipate his moves, you will also have to take into account the card you use each turn, because it will end up in his hand the next turn! A subtle mechanism therefore, which contributes to the fact that the game is constantly renewed.

Add to that a successful atmosphere and many game modes (online and even locally for two on the same screen), and you have a terribly addictive title that dust off the rules of chess for our greatest happiness.

Onitama is of course free, and the paid options in the shop are not compulsory in order to have a good time playing.
