▷The 10 best two-player mobile games to play with a friend 🥇

Since many of us still stay at home, we are all looking for entertainment, and games have played a big part in that. But beyond entertainment, we use games to connect and interact with others, whether it's in the same house or miles away.

Now not everyone has a console or gaming PC, but there is one thing we have: phones.

Mobile gaming is a huge market and there are a ton of games that you can play with your friends or family, right now, on your phone! You just need to know which games are the gems and which games are the duds.

Our list here is made up of the 10 mobile and co-op games that we think are the best to download right now!

Words with friends 2

A classic. This digital version of Scrabble has been popular since its release over a decade ago. It's simple, easy to learn, and brings a ton of fun to your day.

Nothing feels better than when you dominate your friends or family in a game, spelling out that word that earns you insane amount of points at the right time. And for those who want a deeper experience, the game offers a good amount of strategy as well, if you want to seek it out. It's not just about playing the longest word to get points, but also about positioning, timing and rhythm. It's a great way to spend a few hours of your day.

Hockey glow 2

Everyone appreciates a good, simple game to play together and that's exactly what Glow Hockey 2 provides. We all love to play a game of Air Hockey in a restaurant or bar, and this game brings that experience to our homes when we can't go to those places.

Despite the annoying sounds of the puck constantly hitting objects, the game looks great, the controls are responsive, and it's just a little fun without much thought.

Ready Steady Bang

Live out your cowboy fantasy by playing this dueling game. By opposing a western showdown at sunset, you can test your reflexes by drawing and shooting your opponent faster than they can shoot you. With variable timer durations and death animations, as well as a single player mode when not playing with a friend, the game is simple and worth your time.

B

We love the feel and style of this movable side dial. It will probably remind many of you of Limbo, like he did with us, and that's a good thing. The game features split-screen co-op so you and up to 3 friends can navigate 23 different levels. Once you're done, you can even create your own levels to play, much like Little Big Planet.

Crossy Road

The formula for this game dates back to Frogger and it's still around for a good reason. There is something purely fun about trying to get your chicken across the road in this game, and best of all, you can do it through local split-screen multiplayer.

Competing with your friends and family to see who can cross the road fastest or most efficiently, while dodging the various obstacles thrown in your path is strangely addicting.

Santorini

The objective of this game is simple: you and your opponent are racing to see who can build their tower up to their third level first. Each move sees each pawn having to move and build and the pawns can be capped by opponents to stop your winning move. Introduce the use of various powers and the combinations that go with them, and you've got a tactically satisfying, rewarding game.

Morels

This excellent digital port of the card game has all the best features of the physical version. It's an incredibly relaxing, laid back, and well-paced game that won't require a ton of thinking or concentration, meaning you can just hang out and play your way.

Especially for those who are traveling together, this is a great way to waste time in the car or on the plane.

Fort Sumter

Gain a political advantage on the dawn of the Civil War with a 15-minute hand of cards with your opponent. While the idea of creating political power is rather complex, this game streamlines it into an easy to understand and learn card game that still has a surprising amount of nuance. Prepare for the inevitable outbreak of war by developing your power!

Burgle Bros.

This game really shines when played in pairs. By playing as two burglars, you are able to cram your joint faster, but also increase the difficulty of having to hide. Both players will explore the tiles on each floor until they find the safe, break it, take the loot, and advance to the next level. Just watch out for patrolling guards and alarms that make it difficult. And if a player runs out of stealth points, they run an even higher risk of being caught and stopped.

Kingdom two crowns

It might be our favorite on this list.

Played solo, the game is a wonderful micro-strategy experience of ruling your own kingdom by distributing gold and traveling its length on your noble steed, while defending it from monsters. But with a second person, it gets even more fun when you work together as two leaders tackling the ever more pressing leadership role. Building your infrastructure and prepping your night defenses is just better with a friend.
