The best multiplayer games on Android

One of the most popular and fun social board games out there makes an even better multiplayer game on your Android device. Ticket to Ride is a game about European trains where players attempt to gain as many points as possible by connecting routes between cities, completing paths based on cards you draw, and completing the longest route of all players. It is very easy to learn once you get started, and arguably even easier in video game form than as a board game since the game will walk you through everything. The best part is that you can play multiplayer in multiple ways. The game can be played with five players either with everyone using their own devices on the same network, or you can pass a single phone around for each person’s turn.

MMORPGs are not unheard of on mobile but tend to not be as vast or fully featured as the genre suggests. Old School RuneScape isn’t the biggest or shiniest MMO — in fact it was originally a browser game — but it has all the addictive hooks you could want. There’s no skill component here besides decision-making, so you don’t have to worry about tons of hotkeys or complex boss patterns. It’s a simple, charming game that lets you enjoy tons of questing, leveling, crafting, and even PvP.
