Ticket to Ride

Can you really reinvent the wheel? Or, the train wheel in this case? If the Ticket To Ride mobile game has taught us anything, it is that you absolutely can!

This family favorite game is now digitized and you can build railways, gain territory, and interfere with your enemy’s tracks on a whole new platform. The classic board game covers routes across the USA but the digital game also allows you to travel across continents with special expansion packs.

Now you can play Catan wherever, whenever against your friends, strangers on the internet, or even AI if you want some fierce competition.

The mobile game of Catan looks every bit like the real thing with its iconic hexagonal playing discs of ore, lumber, wool, gold, and grain. You can also get the expansions of “Seafarers” and “Cities and Knights” as an in-app purchase.

Risk

When it comes to classic board games, few stand the test of time quite like Risk. Now you can conquer territories and command armies while sitting in the office or on the bus.

The Risk mobile game is one of the best free mobile board games today and offers a premium package if you want to go ad-free.

This version goes much faster than the original and you can play at different difficulty levels, with different maps, and with a variety of scenarios that keeps the game fresh. Some game modes also allow you to play offline, a fun bonus if you are on the road.
