About Thumbs

Listed in the stores as Thumbs: 2 Player Games

Six classic games for two people on one phone, laid flat between them.

Lay your phone flat between you and play Dots and Boxes, Four in a Row, Sea Battle, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman and Snake duel, each from your own end.

What you get

  • Lay it flat. Play face to face.

    Each of you gets your own end of the screen, turned to face you, so nobody reads upside down. Snake duel is real time, a thumb each.

  • Six classics in one app.

    Dots and Boxes, Four in a Row, Sea Battle, Tic-Tac-Toe (Classic or Vanish), Hangman and Snake duel.

  • Secrets stay secret.

    In Sea Battle and Hangman you pass the phone, and a curtain covers the screen until the next player presses and holds.

  • A cup that never ends.

    Thumbs keeps score between the two of you, game after game. Win a best of 5 for a bonus point.

  • On your own? Play the bot.

    Easy, Normal or Hard, in every game.

  • Ads only between matches.

    Never during a game, and never inside a best of 5.
