One screen, two people: the shared-device manual
The cheapest multiplayer setup in the world already sits in your pocket.
Multiplayer, in most marketing, means three things: another device, another account, another bill. The catalogue’s two-player shelf means none of that — one screen, split or alternating, two thumbs.
The entries that survive in this shelf share one trait: they make turns legible. You always know whose go it is. That sounds trivial until you watch two people argue over a phone.
Our handbook procedure takes ninety seconds to set up: filter to two players, prop the device, let the round timer run. The timer does more for family peace than any game selection ever has.
