What it does

Games by Zaweba is a whole games cupboard in one Windows app. There are 13 card games, from Classic Patience and Broken Hearts to Twenty-One, and 14 board games to play against the computer, including Draughts, Tables (backgammon), Mill and Drop Four. There are 12 puzzles such as Number Place, Hidden Mines and Gem Swap, and 17 skill and sport games with wind, wobble and luck to beat, from Pub Darts to Ski Jump.

Then there is the retro shelf: 26 arcade and platform games in the style of 1980s 8-bit and early-90s 16-bit home computers, such as Zippy the Armadillo, Castle Knight, Rock Digger and Nebula Strike. Every game and character is original, and everything is drawn and every sound made in code. There are no adverts, no accounts and nothing goes online.

Cards and board games against the computer

Deal a round of Classic Patience or Spinner Patience, take on three computer players at Broken Hearts or Wild Eights, or sit down at a wooden board for Draughts, Tables, Mill or Star Marbles. Each game opens on a title card with its rules and controls, and lets you choose its modes, such as difficulty, board size or variant.

  • 13 card games and 14 board games
  • Traditional games keep their traditional names
  • Rules on the title card, and F1 explains any game

Skill, sport and luck to beat

Line up a shot on a proper pool table, throw at a pub dartboard with a hand that will not keep still, putt round nine holes of seaside crazy golf or flick paper into a bin past the desk fan. Every game shows your score and your best when it ends, so there is always a reason for one more go.

  • 17 skill and sport games
  • Nine-ball practice or eight-ball against the computer
  • Esc pauses any game, F11 makes it full screen

Games FAQ

Do I need the internet to play?

No. Every game runs on your PC with no connection. Everything is drawn and every sound is made in code, so there is nothing to download.

Can I play with a friend?

The games are for one player, on your own or against the computer. Some board and card games give you up to three computer opponents.

Where are my scores kept?

On your PC, in your own profile. Games by Zaweba keeps your best score for each game and mode, and how many times you have played and won.
