This game was released less than a year after the insanely popular Pokémon Go. While Pokémon Go allows you to experiment with augmented reality and search for Pokémon in your neighborhood and beyond, Pokémon Duel is more of a classic Pokémon video game. As the name suggests, Pokémon Duel takes a cue from the classic Pokémon card game by offering a dueling game for your smartphone.

This game is available for free in the Play Store. However, before you download the game, make sure that your phone is in its best gaming shape. Use DNFDR’s Game Booster feature to maximize your gaming experience. That way, Pokémon Duel won’t lag behind or freeze when you play the game. After you download the game, you’ll want to launch it through Game Booster so that you can access the ultimate gaming mode. Click here to improve your gaming experience now:

What is Pokémon Duel?

This game is a digital board game. You’ll build a team of your favorite Pokémon, and then have them duel against other players. Your deck will include 6 Pokémon. You can compete with players from around the world, in real-time. In addition to customizing your own team, you can also use the game’s intelligent assistant to help you beat your opponent.

How does the game work?

You want to make it to your opponent’s goal before he or she makes it to your goal. This is when you’ll duel your opponent: you’ll figure out a strategy that will allow you to advance on your route, so that you make it to the goal. You can choose offensive or defensive strategies to block your opponents.

In-app purchases are also available for the game. Although you may find that you can get a lot out of the game without spending any money, there’s still the option to purchase booster packs with additional Pokémon. However, you can also earn these packs by advancing farther in the game and collecting gems.

What are the game’s system requirements?

In order to download and play the game, you’ll need to use an unrooted phone. Your phone’s operating system also has to run Lollipop 5.0 or higher. This app also doesn’t work on certain devices, such as older Android models like Motorola Xoom MZ604 or Sony Tablet S.

<![CDATA[The Best Android Apps for Classic Board Game Lovers]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/best-android-apps-classic-board-game-lovers/ Tue, 06 Sep 2016 20:01:18 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=3472 Our lives often don’t operate as efficiently as our smartphones — that’s why we have applications on our phones to make our lives easier and to keep us entertained while we’re waiting in line or commuting on the train to work. Now, you can take your favorite classic board games with you on your smartphone everywhere you go, without the hassle of lugging around heavy boxes or looking for a missing game piece.

1. Monopoly Here & Now by Hasbro

This app presents Monopoly in an animated, 3D version, with the gist of the game still in tact. But now the game includes international real estate locations, in cities such as Paris and Sydney, and international playing pieces, like the Russian Nesting Doll or the Sumo Wrestler. You can play in single player mode or play against a friend by linking your phones. There’s even the option to connect the app to your TV with Chromecast, a great option for larger groups or those who just want to watch the game.

2. Risk: Global Domination by Hasbro

Another classic board game created by Hasbro, this game stays true to the original Risk rules. In addition, it includes 4 different game modes, 4 difficulty settings, and can have up to 6 players. Like the Monopoly app, this game can also be connected to the TV with Chromecast for more than just the players involved to enjoy.

3. Battleship by smuttlewerk interactive

This app mimics the original mood and setup of the game, but in a blueprint format (a nod to the original pencil and paper format of the game from WWI). The blueprint displays the location of your ships, where they have been hit, which of your enemy’s ships have been eliminated, and a grid showing hits and misses of your enemy’s fleet.

4. Scrabble by Electronic Arts

In this version of Scrabble you don’t need a friend to play — you can play against the computer, or else against an opponent randomly selected online. However, there is the option to play against your Facebook friends, and chat with them as you play. This app even includes a Scrabble dictionary to help you out, or timed play if you want to further challenge yourself.

Download one or all of these apps now to keep your mind entertained and engaged while on your morning commute — or even if you just want to relax and play your favorite board game.
