Android Games to Play with Friends

Do you and your friends tend to spend more time engrossed in mobile games than you do hanging out with one another? Make mobile time more social with these fun and challenging Android games.

Busy work and school schedules can often mean that we spend less time hanging out and gaming with friends than we’d like. Android-based games are offering more sophisticated options than ever for busy gamers. Some allow live play for you and your friends. Others allow you to check in when you have time and stretch a game over days.

To keep in touch and enjoy more time interacting with friends you see less than you’d like, mix things up by challenging them to these multiplayer Android games:

1. Words with Friends
Got a big vocabulary and a talent for pattern recognition? You’ll tear it up on Words with Friends, which is similar in play to Scrabble. You can choose a specific friend to play against or find random people online. There is also an offline version that allows you to pass the phone back and forth with someone who is in the room. This is a great option to keep things interesting during long road trips.
