About this game

The #1 game in Denmark - for weeks!

Partners is one of the most popular board games in the Nordic Countries! Now 20 years after the first copy of the board game was released, the app is finally here!

This game is played 2 against 2 and it is all about getting your pieces from your start area to the goal area using the cards you are dealt during the game. However, the game is NOT over when all your pieces are safe in the goal area. Your partner also needs to get all her pieces into the goal area. So as soon as you or your partner reaches the goal area with all your pieces, you have to help your partner finish by using your cards to play with your partner’s pieces. If you and your partner make it before your opponents, you win!

You can play this game online with family and friends, but you do NOT need them in order to be able to play. You can easily play alone offline or include 1, 2 or 3 other persons online and choose to involve one or more of the robot players, that comes with the app. The abilities and temperament of the robot players are unique, so just like with humans, you will discover that some are quite talented and others are not. One of the robots is actually quite unpredictable!

You decide who to include in the game and you can invite anyone to play the game! Furthermore, you can have several games going on at the same time and you can easily switch between games!

The game is turn based and can be played live online or with up to 48 hours to do your turn.

***Warning: This app is VERY addictive and will surely take up a lot of your precious spare time. ***

Ratings and reviews

Partners is an interesting and fun abstract game and the app delivers the same experience. The tutorial is good and it gets you up and running in few minutes. I didn't try creating an account, but playing against bots was very entertaining. The controls are good except for the fact that sometimes it is difficult to select the pawn you want (maybe I have chubby fingers). Overall I find it simple, fun, and engaging, so I would recommend it.

Partners is a really great game, and it keeps the charm of the boardgame. The app is a great way to play regularly with friends during the pandemic. The game itself works great, though as some other users have pointed out, there are still issues with the notifications. After a few days after a phone restart, they simply stop coming in altogether. Also, a nice addition would be to implement Partners+, which should be a doable task, considered that the basic functions are all here already.

It's a fun game. Before the newest update, I wouldn't get notifications when it my turn to swap cards with my partner. After the newest update, I no longer get notifications that it's my turn to play. I paid money for a game that's hardly playable on mobile. For five dollars, don't spend your money.

What's new

We have adjusted the game rules, so that they once again corresponds with the tournament rules for the Partners board game. Have fun!
