Just fire up this high-quality app from Electronic Arts and you’re in SCRABBLE Heaven. Of course, you can always take on someone in the flesh using the two-person Pass ‘N Play mode. But online there are millions of challengers out there–some of whom you probably already know. Play anyone from around the corner to across the country with this app.

The Game of Life Kindle Tablet Edition (4/5 stars, all ages, currently priced at $2.49)
Anything can happen in THE GAME OF LIFE™, which is now better than ever played on your mobile device. Enjoy amazing 3D visual effects, whimsical graphics, upbeat music, and vibrant landscapes complete with weather effects like falling snow.
Lust for Life
You can take up to three friends along with you as you journey through all those important life decisions and milestones. After you choose your car color (orange, red, blue, or green) and player (Mary, John, Rachel, or Bob) you’re set to spin that familiar colorful wheel to see who goes first and how far you’ll go.
Touch the screen and give it a spin with your finger. Whatever number the spinner lands on determines the number of spaces your car will move ahead on the board. If you’re a strategist, scope out the board before you spin to see which space would be best to move toward. To do this, simply press an area of the board that does not contain a space and drag the board around. It’s in your best interest to use the spinner wisely. To net the most profits over time, aim for the best spaces and try to avoid bad stops like Taxes Due.
Live on the Edge or Play it Safe?
Play with up to three friendsEnjoy whimsical 3D graphicsJust as in real life, THE GAME OF LIFE is full of choices. One of the first choices you’ll make is between College and the School of Hard Knocks. If you’re drawn to the ivory tower, you’ll shoulder a hefty $100,000 in loans and you won’t get to collect any cash when you pass those Pay Day tiles. Jumping into your career without the benefit of higher education, on the other hand, will bring an immediate, if lower, salary.
Either way, invest early if you can. Buy a Long-Term Investment and you’ll earn $5,000 each time the spinner wheel lands on your investment number. All you have to do is sit back and watch your net worth multiply…and watch out for the competition.
