  1. One big board

    • A new switch in Arrange: on, one board runs across your screens; off, every screen shows the whole field.
    • Chess and Checkers use it too, and every game's card now shows the real field on your devices.
    • The same settings read the same in every game: one clock, one way to count rounds.

  2. What's new, and where to find us

    • This page: everything we ship, newest first. A dot on Settings tells you when there's something new.
    • Follow BIGBOARD.GAMES on TikTok and Instagram: the links are at the top and bottom of every page.

  3. Turn a device in Arrange

    • Tap ⟳ on a device to turn it a quarter, the way it lies on the table.
    • A phone across the table can now face its player upside down, which an iPhone won't do on its own.

  4. Screens that fit together

    • Devices within 12 mm of each other now line up, so the board meets cleanly at every seam.
    • BIGBOARD.GAMES knows 96 phones and tablets by model, so a screen starts at its real size.
    • Settings shows how much a screen's size was adjusted, and one tap resets it.

  5. Bots join the table

    • Short of players? Add a bot: they play every game except Spillover.
    • Each bot has its own level: Easy, Medium, Hard or Impossible.
    • A game that needs more players offers a bot right on its card.

  6. Checkers

    • Play by Slavic or English rules, on one board across your devices.
    • Three or four players each play for themselves, one device each.
    • Or two against two, on a 16 × 8 board across four devices.

  7. Play from anywhere

    • A friend in another city can join your table and play from their screen, with the whole field in view.
    • Several people can share one device, each at their own spot.
    • Seam Hockey is now Air Hockey.

  8. Chess

    • Two players on a classic board split across two devices.
    • Three players on a six-sided board across three devices: checkmate a king, or take it, to knock its player out.

  9. Snake

    • One board across all your screens, a snake for every player.
    • Eat to grow, don't crash, and be the last snake left.

  10. Tilt Run

    • Tilt your device to roll one ball through a maze that runs across every screen.
    • Pass it under the bezels to each other and sink it in the hole together.

  11. Hot Potato

    • Flick the potato onto someone else's screen before your fuse burns out.
    • Grab power-ups on the way, or play it on a single device.

  12. Arrange your devices

    • Before the first game, drag each device on the screen to where it lies on the table.
    • The board follows: the puck leaves one screen right where the next one picks it up.

  13. BIGBOARD.GAMES opens

    • Lay phones and tablets edge to edge and they become one big board. No app to install, and it's free.
    • Four games to start: Air Hockey, Whack-a-Mole, Islands and Spillover.
