Piyo Blocks 2
Developer: Big Pixel Studios
Price: $1.99
Runs On: iOS, Android
www.bigpixel-studios.co.uk
Piyo Blocks 2 challenges you to match three like-boxes in a row to make them disappear. You've likely played games like this before, which makes it easy to learn. Where this game excels is in the variety of single-player and multi-player modes and options.
What makes this a great game for couples: In this sequel, you can now play your spouse in battle mode over Bluetooth, WiFi or through Game Center. In battle mode, every time you make a combo your combo bar increases and will allow you to unleash attacks on your spouse. Just some good healthy rivalry.
Doodle Jump
Developer: Lima Sky LLC
Price: $0.99 (there's a free version)
Runs On: iOS, Android, Windows Phone
www.limasky.com
How high can your little doodle jump? You tilt your phone left and right to direct your doodle as it flies through the air bouncing from platform to platform. Monsters, jet packs, propeller hats and more make this game challenging and addictive.
What makes this a great game for couples: It's extremely easy to learn and play. You can challenge your spouse through the iOS Game Center and see their record jumps as you fly past them. You can also race each other!
Dream Track Nation
Developer:PowPow Games
Price: $0.99

www.chillingo.com
Some race games test your driving skills and others test your creativity and game play skills—this is the latter. Dream Track Nation has you race through various environments, collect stars, jump huge gaps and even lets you create your own tracks. You have a forward and reverse pedal and you tilt your phone to adjust the pitch of your car as you go up and down the jumps.
What makes this a great game for couples: This isn't a simulation racing game so you don't need to be particularly skilled to have fun. You can race your spouse over WiFi even if they're away from you. Best of all, you can create a custom track to share and challenge your spouse.
Words With Friends
Developer: Zynga
Price: $2.99 (there's a free version)
Runs On: iOS, Android, Windows Phone
www.zyngawithfriends.com
You know this game is addictive when it can get Alec Baldwin kicked off a plane for refusing to turn it off. In short, this is a modified version of Scrabble. You put a word on the board and it will notify your spouse. They do the same and the person with the most points wins.
What makes this a great game for couples: This game is fun, challenging and you might even learn a few new words. This is a classic couples game that helps stimulate the mind (good for marriage), just be sure to turn it off when you're taking off on your next anniversary trip.
Draw Something
Developer: OMGPOP, Inc.
Price: $0.99 (there's a free version)

Draw Something is the fastest growing mobile game of all time, so this might not be new to you. For those who have never played it, think of it as on-demand Pictionary. You get to pick one of three words, draw something, then it automatically sends the picture to your spouse where they guess and draw something in return.
What makes this a great game for couples: The inside references you'll find yourself making within the drawings. This is a game that could reignite memories of things you haven't done or spoken about in years.
