One of the most popular and fun social board games out there makes an even better multiplayer game on your Android device. Ticket to Ride is a game about European trains where players attempt to gain as many points as possible by connecting routes between cities, completing paths based on cards you draw, and completing the longest route of all players. It is very easy to learn once you get started, and arguably even easier in video game form than as a board game since the game will walk you through everything. The best part is that you can play multiplayer in multiple ways. The game can be played with five players either with everyone using their own devices on the same network, or you can pass a single phone around for each person’s turn.

If you’ve only played the console Call of Duty games then you might be surprised to learn that Call of Duty: Mobile is secretly one of the best games in the franchise. A bit like Warzone, this title has been updated and iterated on for years rather than getting yearly installments. That means it is brimming with content and polish. And don’t be fooled by the subtitle, either, because this is a true CoD experience where tight aim and smart positioning are key to survival. All your favorite gametypes are here, plus new unlocks and levels to grind. While the touch controls can do the joy, this is one you definitely want to connect a proper controller for. Once you do, you might forget you’re not playing a console CoD.

It runs beautifully on Android and there are now tons of ways to play beyond the core BR mode. Even dropping into a match on mobile isn’t a death sentence, plus there are always plenty of side objectives and ways to progress even if you don’t manage to be the last player standing.

A game as complex and deep as League of Legends might never be able to work on mobile, but Riot didn’t want to leave you hanging if you crave a match while on the run. League of Legends: Wild Rift is still a 5-on-5 PvP MOBA experience but tweaked specifically for mobile. Most specifically, matches are far faster in Wild Rift so you’re not stuck in a game for 45 minutes to an hour. The map is condensed, respawn times are faster, and regen and gold gain are boosted to get you to the good stuff faster. Otherwise, it still has all the deep strategy and matchups as its big brother. Besides a regular ranked mode, you can also play a special All Random, All Mid (ARAM) mode where every player’s character is randomly selected and there is only a single lane to push.

The old joke is how Doom can be played on anything, but there’s a good chance Minecraft is available on more devices at this point. Android players can bring the endless creative tapestry that is Minecraft wherever you want. While it is great fun on your own, sitting side-by-side with your own devices to build up a town, hunt down the Ender Dragon, or just explore is a perfect way to kill some time on your phone.

MMORPGs are not unheard of on mobile but tend to not be as vast or fully featured as the genre suggests. Old School RuneScape isn’t the biggest or shiniest MMO — in fact it was originally a browser game — but it has all the addictive hooks you could want. There’s no skill component here besides decision-making, so you don’t have to worry about tons of hotkeys or complex boss patterns. It’s a simple, charming game that lets you enjoy tons of questing, leveling, crafting, and even PvP.

If you absolutely love pinball, this app will find you a table wherever you go
This free app helps pinball fans find machines around the world
Pinball

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance
