Your Armadillos want to enjoy the sunny day but there are other ones on the platform, too. Help your Armadillos push off their opponents into cold water.

Armadillo Clash

Flick the enemy armadillos into the water.

Like pool, but casual, with cute armadillos. So that the starting player has no advantage, every match runs over 4 rounds.

Nice game, but it's a shame the replay isn't played instantly for my opponent. It would add even more atmosphere.

Pool without the cushions. You do need a bit of a good eye. Who can take down 4 in one go?

Sometimes lots of small steps get you to victory. These games are the most fun when you play them through in one go.

Move after move, fast

Quick Moves

The name says it all: two players go head to head. The disciplines vary widely, and you choose which one you want to compete in.

In Avalam the tile color does not matter - at first. You always wanted to move your opponent's tiles? Here you can! But in the end only your own towers count - each of them one point, no matter their size. Can you find the perfekt tactic to beat this colorful chaos?

Avalam

Stone by stone, but 5 is the limit. In the end every tower is worth the same. Do you have the right strategy to beat your opponent?

I like this game, even though it's a bit of an outsider, since I like playing in attack mode rather than defense mode.

Ok, it got an award from Mensa, but I can't shake the feeling that two strong players always end up drawing.

Exactly my kind of game: simple rules, tactical depth. Thanks to elo, even with real opponents.

To win here you sometimes have to think one move ahead – ideally one more than your opponent.

Strategy gets you there

Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games. Next to a good strategy, you need a bit of luck to be faster than your opponent. Bear off all your pieces before your opponent does to win the game.

Backgammon

Use a good strategy to maneuver your pieces around the opponent. A bit of luck when rolling for the best numbers and the victory is guaranteed.

Had to get used to the square design, but I love the accelerated endgame - both players roll in parallel.

Many modern dice games could take a leaf out of this game's book. Lovely implementation!

I'd still love the doubling cube to count toward the streak score. Otherwise great job!

Even though most board games are played on a board, we've allowed ourselves to present, for example, Nine Men's Morris in a different way. The rules are always fully implemented, right down to stalemate detection.

A big choice of board games

These games belong in every game collection. We played them with our parents, and then as now they got our grey cells going.

Aye, landlubber! Get ready for a excellent sea battle! Prove your tactical skills with neat maneuvers on the high sea. Fleet versus fleet, whose battleships will sink first? Plan your formation and have an eye on your opponent's weak spots! All hands on deck and bombs away!

High Sea Battle

Drink up, pirates! All hands on deck! Enemy fleet sighted! Use strategy and tactic; plan your fleet formation and sink all those landlubber ships!

At first I thought not being able to place the ships yourself was dumb, but if you have a few setups suggested to you, the right one is among them.

Battleship is ancient, but it never goes out of style. You can just play it right away with anyone.

Whose cabbage is the best? This question will be answered in this game. Play one family of traditional cabbage farmers and overpower your competitors. Slip through their lines or just beat them - on the way to the cabbage market anything goes!

Pawns, Revolt!

Chess is overrated, all you need are the pawns!

Lovable graphics. A bit like chess for beginners.

Great implementation, but the game drags on a bit.

Feels like a practice game from Fritz und Fertig for learning chess. You can play it 2-3 times.

This bar is legendary. The big beasties as well as the small ones scramble to get a place. They push and shove, snitch on others and sometimes even gnaw at the animal in front – using claws, paws or their very personal scent. It‘s not only kangaroos that make big leaps. It may also be helpful to send for some strong monkeys. But maybe one of these zany seals has already switched everything… A biting game – not only for party lions!

Beasty Bar

 A legendary bar that every animal wants to enter. Each has its own weapons and tricks. A crazy game where all things go haywire. Lets go have fun!

I didn't know it before. I think it's brilliant. It's most tactical with two players, but it works with four too.

The real card game has expansions, after all. Is "New Beasts in Town" planned too?

Don't be afraid of the rules! You need them for the card game, but here the animals know how to jostle their way in on their own 😎

You can play every game on elo with at least two players, and many with three, four, five or even six. Just suggest a game to your friends and be surprised how many join in.

Play with 2 to 6 players

Multiplayer

Three of the most popular games on elo are card games: Una, Reducto and Rummy Club. That's no coincidence: the little secret everyone holds in their hand is what makes this category so popular.

A classic... people come together in a hall, numbers are drawn by a caller and the game begins. The first person, who marks off five numbers in a row shouts 'Bingo'.

Bingo

Who will find the first bingo on their card. A classical game for 2 to 6 players.

Even though you can't win a handbag here - I like it!

Nice twist that you have to decide which bingo card to enter the number on. It does it for me!

It took more than a dozen games before I noticed that the numbers are colored so they're easier to find. Now nobody beats me anymore 😅

What's wrong with a little luck? Just play relaxed and now and then give luck a little nudge. It's the mix that counts.

Luck isn't only found in a casino

Do you rely on luck as you spin the colors, or have you cleverly prepared your field? Harness your strategic skills to destroy columns and colors first. By doing so, you not only earn valuable bonus stars and points but also block your opponents' fields. It's up to you to bust the right blocks and sway the game in your favor. Are you ready to become a Blockbuster and conquer the leaderboard?

Block-Buster

Block-Buster combines luck and strategy for an exciting gaming experience. Spin for colors and numbers and strategically clear your own blocks. Be the first to eliminate columns or colors and block your opponents' fields. Are you ready to become a Blockbuster and conquer the leaderboard?

As a casual player I find Block Buster perfect. Easy to learn, but hard to master. A great casual game that I recommend to anyone looking for a short but challenging game.

A must for fans of games of luck and thinking. Block Buster cleverly combines tactics with fun. The challenge of combining blocks cleverly is brilliant.

Block Buster is an innovative combination game that has kept me hooked for hours. Great graphics, fascinating game mechanics and perfect for quick rounds.

Place your shots well to free the factory building from all balls. Free the little robots to gain specials and use them to achieve your goal even faster.

Bubble Factory

Enter the old factory building and master this strategic dexterity game.

Bubble Factory is one of my favorite games. A game full of suspense that never gets boring.

The game for all bubble shooter fans! The only multiplayer variant I know of!

By no means just a game for the smartphone generation! I won't let my grandchild beat me.

I'd even leave my cup of coffee for this game.

Aim carefully, stay focused and keep your nerve to the end – whether in a match-3 game, a bubble shooter or when landing Tetris pieces.

React fast, aim precisely!

Arcade

Choose one result from the dice that you rolled. Put all dice of that result on to a single table. Beat your opponents; take part in the struggle for neighboring tables and snatch as many of their morsels as possible. Five pieces of a kind form a round thing. Collect as many as you can to get your free feast.

Café Fatal

In Mathilda's Jackpot Café, the tables strain under the weight of the finest cheese, pizzas and cakes. And the main attraction: at her Gamble Light Dinner event the best dice-roller eats on the house.

Perfect for a coffee break! I like the unpredictable element that can throw all your planning out the window on the last turn.

Definitely play it with three, and then stay out of it when your two opponents fight over a table.

Brilliant dice game. Unfortunately far too little known. With the sound on, it's like a little vacation.

On elo you'll find a selection of the best dice games, from old classics like Backgammon and Ludo to the modern Qwixx. Dice add an element of unpredictability that you can turn to your advantage with the right strategy.

Avoid the spikes and lava and do your best to survive as long as you can! You will need to stay cool but react fast to save the live of your sweet little bird!

Cave of Doom

You will need to stay cool but react fast to save the live of your sweet little bird!

Cave of Doom is a lot of fun, since it takes a bit of luck too. It doesn't get boring for me even after many rounds.

Like Happy Flappy, only even more hopeless, but also a bit more creative.

You have to try the training mode, where the bird wears a helmet - so cute! 🥰

You can always see the complete game status in this two player strategy game. So you can plan tactically from beginning to game end. Can you outmaneuver your opponent and take over the playing field with your kings?

Checkers

Plan ahead to beat enemy pieces and upgrade yours to kings. The rules are simple but the tactical depth is huge.

I actually still have a real checkers board and almost all the pieces. It's just that there are more players here :)

Not sure if I'm happy that you can't huff (remove a piece that missed a capture), and that with a king you always have to jump.

Also suitable for beginners, because the checkers rules are practically painted onto the board for you. 5 stars from me.

Everybody knows chess and it stands for game strategy more than any other game. The first moves are easy to learn, but it takes a lifetime to master it. Chess couldn't fit better to elo, as people started to play it accross distance long ago using letters.

Chess

Everybody knows chess and it stands for game strategy more than any other game. Chess uses the real elo score calculation. Yes, that is where the name of our app comes from!

No frills but with everything it needs. elo points calculation, move list, real opponents.

When I was a kid, I played correspondence chess; today I play chess on elo with my grandchildren.

Rediscovered my old love for the game through The Queen's Gambit on Netflix!

Crazy Garden is a strategic game for 2 to 4 players. Can you lead your little pet through the maze of hedges to its preferred food? Move hedges to create new pathes and block others. Feed your pet the fastest to win the game.

Can you find a way through the maze of hedges? Lead your little pet to its preferred snack to win the game.

 Roll your dice three times and enter their values in the score table. It gets more difficult with every round to place your rolled score. We put rocket speed and a new drive into the classic game.

Dicetime

Commander, we need you to roll the dice! Place your planet points wisely and start your rocket now!

The game for all dice game fans. Call it what you like, I call it Yahtzee, although here it's probably better known as Kniffel.

Thanks to the luck of the dice and a bit of tactics when filling in the individual rolls, every game is fun all over again, and the different real opponents bring fresh excitement every time.

Shame you can't enter a second Yahtzee. We always played it differently. Sorry for the deduction!

Four identical animations  - but something is wrong… Did this fish just wink? Is this asteroid really moving equal to the others? You have to look really close and to every detail if you want to succed! One of the animations is different – find out which before your opponents do! Under water or in endless space – this game impresses with its very unique and beautiful style – but do not get distracted! 

Spot the Difference

Your eagle eyes are requested. How quick can you spot the one animation that is different? Just be quicker than your opponents!

I already enjoyed playing this on Brain Academy on my old Wii!

The contrasts could definitely be bigger. Some puzzles are really hard for me :(

4 Pics 1 Word, er, 1 mistake. Actually a great idea. The symmetrical pictures in particular are extremely tricky at times.
