Roll with Friends: Yatzy Edition (Free on iOS) – From Pangia Games, this multiplayer dice game is similar to the game of Yahtzee, as it challenges players to roll five dice on each turn and create hands like ‘four of a kind,’ ‘full house’ and more.

Splash (Free on iOS, Android) – From Ketchapp and Mauigo Games, this endless survival game challenges players to help a ball bounce from cube to cube to splatter paint around a room. In each game, the ball bounces from one cube to the next automatically, and players must tap to push the ball quickly downward to hit the cube and release its paint.

Players can watch video ads to earn extra gems.
