Pokemon Duel is a free-to-play strategy boardgame that is basically a mixture of chess, backgammon and Pokemon Go with elements of Magic the Gathering thrown in. In Pokemon Duel you get a set of six Pokemon and the objective is to get one of them to the central spot in the back row of your opponent’s side of the board while trying to protect your own at the same time. Moving your Pokemon around the board is just a case of tapping them and the battles involve stopping a spinning wheel which is marked with different moves and different size sections that correspond to the Pokemon you are using.
Each Pokemon has its own movement rate, and there are multiple paths to get to your opponents central spot. Pokemon Duel also features a deck of cards called plates which allow you to perform additional strategy and game-changing maneuvers. Don't worry if this all sounds complicated there is also a helper AI that will move your pieces around if you can't figure out what to do.
The game is available free on Android and iOS
