About this game

One phone, placed in the middle.

MINBAN is a collection of classic table games you play around a single phone.
When two players sit face to face, the text on the far side is turned 180
degrees, so both can play from their own seats. With three or four players,
you pass the phone around in turn.

No account needed. Your players, records and settings are saved only on your
device. A connection is needed only when you start a match, to load an ad.

- PLAY ALONE, TOO

CPU opponents come in four levels: Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane. Raise the
level for more of a challenge, and lower it if you cannot win. Klondike and
Spider are single-player games to take your time with. Mahjong Solitaire can be
played alone, or by 2-4 players taking turns to pick pairs from one shared pile.

- YOUR HAND, ONLY ON YOUR TURN

In games with hidden hands, such as card games, you pass the phone around.
When it reaches the next player, a cover saying "(name)'s turn" appears, and
the hand stays hidden until that player presses the button themselves. No one
sees someone else's hand by accident.

- REGISTER PLAYERS, KEEP RECORDS

Register players with a name and a mascot, and overall results are kept by who
played together. Pick a ready-made mascot or build your own from parts. To play
without registering, choose "Guest".

- SEE HOW TO PLAY IN PICTURES

Even if you do not know the rules, "How to play" in each game shows a short
demo that follows the moves on the board in pictures, right up to how the game
is won.

- YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE

Players, records and settings are stored only on your device and are never
sent anywhere. No account is required. Showing ads uses the network, so see the
privacy policy for how advertising IDs and similar data are handled.

A connection is needed only when you start a match, to load an ad. With
"Remove ads", you can play without a connection: always with the one-time
purchase, or while the 30-day option lasts.

- PRICING

The app is free, and six games (Gomoku, Reversi, Memory Match, Sevens,
Klondike and Speed) are always available. The rest can be unlocked with keys,
in any order you like. New players receive five keys, so open a few and try
them. More keys are available in the shop.

Games you have not unlocked can still be played once per ad you watch, up to 5
times a day across all games. With "Remove ads" (one-time, or the 30-day option
while it lasts), you get the same number of plays without watching ads.

Ads may appear when a match starts and after it ends. In Klondike and Spider
you can also watch an ad in exchange for a hint (you are asked each time
whether to watch it). To remove ads, buy "Remove ads" in the shop. It comes as
a one-time purchase or a 30-day option, and the 30-day option does not renew
automatically. Note that unlocking games with keys does not remove ads; only
"Remove ads" does.

- WHEN TO PLAY

• A quick game while chatting face to face
