Fourteen two-player board games on one phone, designed for iPhone Duo. Open, the hinge is the board: the backgammon bar, the cribbage pegs, the centre line in air hockey. Stand it like a book and in brisca, dominoes or liar's dice each player sees only their own side. In sea battle you close the phone to pass the turn. No accounts, no ads, no data. Three free games, including air hockey; one purchase unlocks the rest, with Family Sharing. Plays on any iPhone or iPad.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Óscar, an indie developer in Spain.
When Apple announced iPhone Duo I asked a simple question: what can two people do with a phone that folds, that they can't do with a flat one? The answer was board games. A folding phone open on a table is a tiny travel case: two halves, a hinge in the middle, one player on each side.
So Tapete only includes games where the fold actually changes something:
• the hinge becomes part of the board (backgammon, chess, xiangqi, go);
• book posture hides each player's cards (brisca, tute, dominoes);
• closing the phone passes the turn when there's hidden information (sea battle).
There is no AI opponent and no online play, on purpose: it's for two people at the same table. No accounts, no ads, no analytics: the App Store label says "Data Not Collected" and that's the whole point.
It also works on any iPhone or iPad, with a "pass the phone" curtain instead of closing.
I'd love to hear which game you'd want next. Thanks for taking a look!
