Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year, a chance to spend a few
days with family and friends and enjoy an amazing meal. But there's also
a lot of downtime, whether it's due to travelling across the country or
hiding to avoid your uncle droning on about how the Bears are terrible
this year. Luckily, there's an easy way to enjoy yourself, even when
you're not stuffing your face with turkey — and it's right there in your
pocket. Mobile games are a great way to kill time, and no matter if you
only have a few minutes or a few hours, there's something out there to
keep you occupied. Here are six ways to make your Thanksgiving a little
more awesome.
Threes
If you only have a few quick moments to sneak in a game, say while
you're waiting for dessert to come out, there are few better options
than Threes. The number-crunching puzzler is incredibly simple,
with gameplay that revolves around adding numbers together to create
even bigger ones. Its clever design and intuitive touch controls make it
easy to get into, but that just makes it harder to put down: it always
feel like you could do just a little bit better the next time. You only
need a few minutes to play, but you'll want to stick around a whole lot
longer.
TwoDots
The original Dots was popular, but its basic endless gameplay left a lot to be desired. The sequel makes things a whole lot better.
Now, instead of a never-ending high score chase, you have bite-sized
levels, each with their own unique challenges. It makes for a much more
varied and interesting experience, and the quick-but-satisfying gameplay
means you won't have to ignore your family to play — or at least not
for very long.
Monument Valley
After you and your loved ones consume a massive feast, it's likely
your brain won't quite be at its snappiest, so a slower, contemplative
game like Monument Valley might be best. Though its levels can be quite challenging, with their impossible, mind-bending architecture,
there's no time limit, and you can't really fail either. The beautiful
music and visuals will help ease you into that impending
tryptophan-induced coma — and the excellent new expansion means there's even more to love.
80 Days
For many of us, Thanksgiving dinner means travelling long distances
to see family and friends. And whether you're in the back of a car or
stuck in the aisle seat of an airplane, there are few better ways to
pass the time than 80 Days. It has all of the great writing and
adventure of a pulp novel, but with interactive elements that make you
feel like a part of the journey. As an added bonus, 80 Days has excellent replay value, as each time you play, things will turn out differently.
The Sailor's Dream
When family gets together, bad things can happen; screaming kids
running amok, empty bottles of wine reigniting long-dormant arguments.
Sometimes you just need to get away and relax. And with an iPhone, some
headphones, and The Sailor's Dream, you can do just that. It's part short story collection, part concept album,
and one of the most laid-back experiences you can have on a mobile
device — even the title screen is peaceful, with its serene music and
gently crashing waves, which are great for drowning out noisy relatives.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
It may be a bit trickier to sneak a tablet to a family get together, but then again, who could go that long without playing Hearthstone?
Blizzard's incredibly addictive digital card game is ideally suited for
playing in both quick bursts and over extended periods; really, the
only hitch is that you'll need an internet connection to play. But with the game's first big expansion on the way, now is the perfect time to earn some extra gold.
