*Board Games TV checkers match on Apple TV.*

## Four games in one collection

* **Chess:** Move hints, move validation, checkmate detection and undo/redo.

* **4 in a Row:** Connect four discs vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
* **Tic Tac Toe:** A familiar 3×3 game for a quick match.

## Choose how you play

| Play mode                 | How it works                                                                                         |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Offline AI                | Practice against five difficulty levels, from beginner to the toughest tier.                         |
| Pass-and-play             | Take turns on a shared device with a friend or family member.                                        |
| Local Wi-Fi rooms         | Connect nearby supported Apple devices on the same local network using an eight-character room code. |
| Global online multiplayer | Find an opponent with Quick Match or create a private Custom Room for friends.                       |

Offline AI and pass-and-play do not need Wi-Fi or cellular service. Local Wi-Fi play needs a working local network; online multiplayer needs internet access.
