DeeDogDevelopmentGame Closet
The hall closet of old games, opened on your phone.
Coming soon to the App Store
Forty-one board, dice and card classics. Each one has its own board, its rules written out, and a CPU opponent who plays a fair game. Game Closet is free, with no ads and no account to create.
See it fold
On a folding phone such as iPhone Duo, opening it puts the board on one half and your scorepad, hand and buttons on the other, with nothing on the fold. Close it and the same game carries on, stacked on the cover screen. Fold to Pause makes the CPU wait while the phone is closed.
On iPad and Mac
On iPad and Mac the window splits the same way when it is wide enough: the board on one side, everything else on the other. No folding phone? The fold preview in Settings shows every layout on any device.

Play it your way
CPU or friends
Play the CPU, with a choice of level in several games, or pass the phone around the table in many of them. In Capture the Flag, a cover hides each side's pieces between turns, so pass and play stays fair.
Head to head
Play thirteen of the board games against a friend on two iPhones, iPads or Macs in the same room. Turn it on in Settings, host a game, and your friend joins with the code on your screen.
Pick up where you left off
Games save as you play. Every game has its rules written out, and the play-by-play explains how each score or move came about.
A coach, if you want one
Coach tips point out a clearly better move after you make one, and some games have hints. Turn them off in Settings, or game by game.
Make it yours
Choose a color theme, a table style and a dice style. The dice bounce across the felt when you throw them.
Your record
Each game keeps your record: wins, losses, streaks, best scores and play time. Game Center leaderboards and achievements are optional.
Private by design
No account to create, no ads and no tracking. Stats, favorites and shelf order can sync through your own iCloud, and head to head goes straight between the two devices. Read the Privacy Policy.
Free
Game Closet is free, with every game included. If you enjoy it, an optional tip jar in Settings says thanks; tips don't unlock anything.
