super annoying. Chose the Uno card game from the Arcade apple app store for the little one to play locally. In seems through many little updates that game was transformed into a mainly arcade esque multiplayer online thing. It stays hard to find suitable gaming content for the little ones. And apple arcade is not helping much by allowing all those slot machine esque games with their slot machine mechanics :(

@monkeydom @gedeonm I had an earlier version on an earlier iPhone (current version does not even recognize my previous ownership for cloud download) I recall you could play against computer players offline. When fewer people had iPhones, connecting with other real players was difficult at best, even if the code and servers were in place. I still don’t see Gamecenter as an interactive ‘play with others’ platform. Indeed I would never ask my friends to download a game just so I could play them
