Now that we are entering the holiday season, we are sure to be grateful for having some installed local multiplayer games with whom to be able play in group with friends and family, but if we take a tablet with us we can take advantage of it to enjoy some in which we can use it almost as if it were a board of a physical board game.
Galaxy Trucker
Of course, the digital versions of classic board games are one of the best options we have and there are very good titles to choose from, although not all have a local multiplayer of this type. One of those that does have it and is among our clear favorites is Galaxy Trucker, which challenges us to build the best spaceship of all and explore space with her. There is also a solo game mode, to take advantage of it at other times as well.
P
P is another of our board games preferred, something more recent and still not as popular as others, although it is gaining followers at full speed. It has the peculiarity that it is a game cooperative, in which we all fight side by side to prevent the plague from spreading, although, be careful, that does not mean that we are going to be safe from pikes. If we see that the environment gets too hot, yes, we can lower the difficulty, since we have three levels to choose from.
Tsuru
Tsuru is another board game that is well suited to local multiplayer gameplay with a single device (although there are other options), as it is more of a classic strategy game, chess type, in which our objective will be to place pieces of the map to create the path through which we move our token. Of course, the more we are, the more we are going to annoy each other, that is the grace, and we can form parties with nothing less than up to eight players.
Tank Hero
Not all games with this type of multiplayer respond to the formula of classic board games, but some directly encourage us to compete against another player without having to wait for turns, each one standing on one side of the screen. It is possible to do it even with a arcade shooter, as this great Tank Hero Laser Wars which has a mode with split screen for this, specific for tablets, both Android and iPad.
Bouncy basketball
Another game that follows this type of mechanics, but in this case with a much healthier sports competition: a game of basketball. The trick to making it viable to play against another person on the same device is here that the controls are remarkably simple, one-touch. It might seem limited, but starting from there Bouncy basketball manages to give it enough complexity to make it a challenge to master all the movements. The graphics are very straightforward, but that's part of its appeal. An extra point in your favor: we can download this one free.
