For a game that has been around for thousands of years, checkers, also known as draughts, is still one of the most beloved board games in the world.

Although the abstract strategy game was by and large played on actual tabletops, one can today afford the luxury of accessing checkers anywhere at any time, thanks to strides made in technology.

A perfect example is Quick Checkers, an online checkers game that can be downloaded for free at the App Store and Google Play Store.

Conceptualized and designed by GamoVation, a leading video game developer based in Zwolle, the Netherlands, Quick Checkers has drawn a staggering 3 million users ever since its launch a year ago.

The concept behind the Game

Adopting a Chess-like approach to Soccer, Fans of Soccer molds the game as we know it into a version that requires not only good tapping skills but also excellent thinking abilities. Players must learn the various ways of getting the ball into the net, beyond direct hits, and that ensures you reach deep down into your creativity reserves for that bit of extraordinary. Blending a dash of fun, a cup load of adrenaline-inducing moments, and the satisfaction of blasting past worthy opponents, this app takes disc themed football to new heights!

Fans of Soccer Features

This disc soccer game is on the Google and Apple Stores for all devices. It offers an extremely realistic physics engine where the ball movements and rebounds feel like the real thing. The incredible graphics aside, this game is scaling the global popularity charts for its various offerings:

• Special abilities including a flaming power that makes goal-bound shots unstoppable, even if an opponent’s disc stands in the way
• Realistic sound effects to create the mood and atmosphere of a typical soccer stadium. Feel the fans cheer you on and roar at your goals.
• Four different modes to choose from, ensuring a generous amount of diversity for countless hours of play
• Special rewards, including fans, coins, and abilities, for winning tournaments, championships, and matches
• Play online with your Facebook friends on one-on-one encounters

Working of the game

The home menu offers four different game modes for players to choose from, namely Tournaments, Championships, Minigame and One v One. The latter encompasses a singular match in the player’s chosen arena, while the tournament and championship options feature a range of matches against a roadmap of opponents on the journey to a final showdown offering in-game prizes. The minigame offers two choices of auxiliary games, i.e., Freekick and Prizebutton, for players to try out.

Victory entails being the first to score two goals, except for the final games, where three marks the winning threshold. Each player gets a set of five discs that they’ll use to work the ball around and guide into the other net. That they can do by directly kicking the ball, hitting it against the side railings for on-target rebounds, or by smashing opponent’s disc to create a goal-bound shot. Players can manipulate their discs by tapping and holding the piece before swiveling the aim button toward the desired direction and releasing it to shoot.

Why this app stands head and shoulders above its peers

The most vivid proof of its excellence came at the 4^th International Mobile Gaming Awards Middle East North Africa (IMGA MENA), where the app bagged the title of “Best Sports Game.” We couldn’t agree more with the accolade; Fans of Soccer is a fun game that keeps players coming back for more!
