It draws inspiration from classic abstract strategy games like chess and shogi but does away with that pesky board (see also: Tile Chess ). The iPhone/iPod touch app [US$1.99, iTunes link ] brings everything from the physical version to your pocket, and if clever placement of bug-decorated pieces is your thing, the game is well worth the download – at least for a short while.

Mancala. Chess. Backgammon. The number of ancient board games available in the App Store is long and somewhat predictable.

I believe that hover technology is possible, and an episode of Mythbusters showed prototypes that were, at best, gigantic slow moving air hockey pucks. This is essentially what the Air Board is.

Filed under: App Review , iPad The difference between a port of a tabletop board game to the iPad by someone like Gameloft – makers of games like James Cameron’s Avatar for iPad and Asphalt 5 – and smaller, independent companies is pretty stunning.
