Do any dopers have recommendations for games that can be played across two iPads? My husband and I are looking for something fun to play together. ---

Other than games where you have to go through the Internet (something like Words With Friends), do these even exist? How many people even own cables that can connect two iPads? ---

How many people even own cables that can connect two iPads? You can play over Wi-Fi locally, no cables necessary. ---

Ticket to Ride is probably the one we play most often. Very well done The other one we play is Carcassonne. Although I must confess I still don’t know how all of the scoring works. ---

I think that almost all of the conversions of board games to iPad support this but you might have to search for each other in game centre to create a private game. There’s an article here listing a bunch of them. > **[The 21 best iPad board games](https://www.macworld.com/article/670123/the-best-ipad-board-games.html)** > > We've collected the 21 finest iPad board games (and card games), suitable for all the family to enjoy ---

Spaceteam! You’re a space ship crew trying to outrun a super nova. Each player has a different set of controls, and instructions appear on the screen. E.g. you get “polarize the hyperweasel,” you check your screen for the relevant control, don’t see it, and tell the other players “polarize the hyperweasel.” Once the hyperweasel is polarized, you’ll get a new command. Meanwhile, everyone else is asking you to fulfill their commands. It’s a lot of fun, though it’s best for the odd half hour here and there.
