There is a Monopoly app ($4) that is the same as the original, just with a couple of additional features to spice things up even more. There’s even a “quick mode” for when you don’t have an entire evening to play.
2. Catan Universe
If this is the first time you have heard about Catan, you are in serious luck because this game promises fun like no other with a dash of strategy and luck. Much like the real board game, the Catan Universe app offers the same visual appeal as the original. Up to three players can play the basic version for free, and if you want to give “Seafarers” and “Cities and Knights” a chance, you will have to pay to play.
3. Clue
For just $4, the Clue app can help you relive the thrill of investigating Mr. Boddy’s untimely demise from the ominous rooms of the Tudor Mansion. Get into the shoes of Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and the rest of the game’s cast of characters to experience a playing experience like no other.
