A little help for the course and card.
A rangefinder and scorecard for the round with friends. A course you have downloaded lives on your phone, so a patchy signal on the back nine makes no difference.
A trick-taking game of bluffs.
A trick-taking game where nobody knows the trump suit. Play a card face down, say it is trump, and see whether anyone at the table calls you on it.
A minute to spare.
Say the small thing out loud the moment it occurs to you. Later, when you are stuck waiting somewhere, tell it how many minutes you have and it hands back the ones that fit.
A trip you can play.
Plan the trip, and the trip turns into a season of small challenges. One chapter a day, played on the phones already in the car.
Short on purpose. One at a time, finished before the next one starts.
A quiet descent.
A hungry glowing creature. A very deep ocean. Nothing else to do.
A long way down.
You’re already falling when it starts. Swing around the air stream and see how far down you get.
A calm hand, a friendly table.
The old card game, properly counted. Two, three or four hands, against the computer, the person next to you, or friends on their own phones.
A good fish on the line.
Three minutes, one thumb, and a hundred metres of dark water under you. Everything worth catching is further down than you should probably go.

A bean bag blast.
Swing the phone underhand and the bag goes where your arm sent it. Four people on their own phones on the same lawn, or one phone passed around a table.
Barely started.
The eighth BANSE title. It’s early enough that saying what it is would be guessing.
Small, single-minded tools, built to the same rules as the games: no accounts, no servers, nothing watching you.

A rangefinder and scorecard for the round with friends. A course you have downloaded lives on your phone, so a patchy signal on the back nine makes no difference.
A game changer for your stats.
Goals, assists, penalties and plus/minus for your own player, tapped in between shifts and counted properly.
A walk in the park.
One short walk a day, tracked lightly. A streak you can defend, and a loop to follow if you want one.
A minute to spare.
Say the small thing out loud the moment it occurs to you. Later, when you are stuck waiting somewhere, tell it how many minutes you have and it hands back the ones that fit.
A way to keep tabs.
Everyone on the trip records what they spent. At the end you hand it over phone to phone, and Trivvy works out who owes whom.
Nothing to show yet.
The sixth app. It will be small and single-minded like the first one, and that is honestly everything that has been decided.
