Turn-based (or asynchronous) multiplayer games are the greatest thing to hit mobile gaming since, well, ever. OK, there’s a tiny bit of hyperbole there, but if you’re limited on time but want to play alongside friends, they’re great. Here’s 7 awesome turn-based games to get you started.
In all of these games, you’re able to take turns whenever it suits you. It’s perfect for when life is busy and neither you or your friend have the time to set aside a dedicated slot in the day to play together. Instead, you can dip in and out, taking your move when it suits you. Even if that happens to be at 3 AM when you’re trying to get the baby back to sleep. All of the games are fantastic in their own right too, because who wants to waste precious time with mediocrity?
Here are our favorite turn-based multiplayer games for mobile.
Words with Friends 2 (Android/iOS, Free)
If you’ve somehow never played Words with Friends before, you’re in for a treat. Words with Friends 2 is essentially Scrabble but better. At its simplest, you take it in turns to spell out words from the tiles you have available to you. Certain areas on the board offer double or treble point scores, so it’s up to you to figure out where best to move things along. It’s all quite strategical, so even if you’re not great with word play, you still stand a chance.
Words with Friends 2 adds to the formula by also including solo challenge events where you can play against fictional characters. Team matches are also an option via a new Lightning Round.
Really though, the core fun comes from competing with friends across epic matches that can take minutes to weeks, depending on how often you can both play.It’s available for Android and iOS.
Draw Something (Android/iOS, Free)
Playing out kind of like Pictionary, Draw Something is impressively addictive, even if you can’t draw well. The game has you taking turns to draw anything from burgers to love to a football match. It’s all down to what card you pick, and what you choose to draw from one of three words.
It’s a lot of fun and that’s actually made all the better by the fact you have to wait to take turns. If you played it too quickly, it could get repetitive, but finding a few moments in the day to take your move is always rewarding. You can opt to buy color packs and power-ups, but these are far from essential. Revel in simply trying to figure out each other’s potentially dubious drawing skills, and maybe partake in the odd daily challenge too.
Much like Words with Friends 2, it’s for…
