Coronavirus Lockdown: 6 Online Multiplayer Games To Play With Friends

From Uno to Scotland Yard, it's time to relive our childhood games.
Playing games together as a family or with friends could be the best solution right now to get some respite from boredom due to self-isolation. Playing classic games digitally has become the new way to keep interacting with your family and friends. Since people cannot meet to play traditional board games, we’ve compiled some of the best mobile games you can play during quarantine. Do note, we are not including battle royale games like PUBG as it has a steep learning curve and is not suitable for all ages. Instead, we have focused on games that we’re all familiar with as we’ve played in the past as a board or card game. Here are some of the best games you can play with family and friends from your mobile: 1. UNO © UNOUNO is the worlds’ most popular card game that can be played digitally from your phone too. You can host tournaments, private rooms and even set your own rules. You can gather all your friends and family in a private room and even have 2v2 matches. The game is available for free on iOS and Android with in-app purchases. 2. Ludo Star © Ludo StaarLudo Star works similar to UNO where you can host up to four players in a private room. You can play your favourite childhood games with numerous international rules and you even get a ‘quick’ mode if you want to drop-in or drop-out of matches. The game also enables people to chat and send emoticons while you play. Ludo Star is available for free on iOS and Android with in-app purchases. 3. Clash of Clans © Clash of ClansThe free mobile strategy game has over 100 million active daily players where the user is the chief of a village. You will have to build up your own village by gathering resources and build your army to defend or attack other villages. Up to fifty people can participate in a Clan War. The game is free-to-play on iOS and Android but requires an in-app purchase to speed up your progress. 4. Snakes and Ladders King It plays just like the classic board game where you can play with up to 4 players and the goal is to reach the top of the board. The game is quite generic but is very addictive when you play it with others. It even works offline if you do not have a working internet connection. Snakes and Ladders King is available for free on iOS and Play Store. 5. Scotland Yard © Scotland YardThe digital version of the popular board game has over four million players and is the perfect family game to play. It is a childhood favourite for many and is available to play on both iOS and Android. Having said that, the game isn’t free and costs Rs 80 on the Play Store. 6. The Game of Life © /Marmalde Game StudioSimilar to Scotland Yard, Game of Life is also a childhood classic that is perfect to play with your friends. You can either play on one device with your family members or play online with your friends. The game costs Rs 200 on Play Store but delivers the same experience as the board game.
