Review

10 Pin Shuffle Bowling is a hybrid of the board game 'shuffleboard' and 10 pin bowling. The game is very easy to understand and control with players required to flick a puck down the alley and knock over the pins. Games can be single player, against another human (across two devices) or against the computer. There are many accessibility options allowing the user to adjust the control difficulty as well as audio and animation effects (see below for our recommended settings). There are also multiple game modes available including traditional 'shuffleboard' without the bowling elements, or a variation that includes the card game poker, however both of these modes are more challenging. The free version of the app only includes the bowling with poker variation (and contains adverts, although they are unobtrusive), and therefore is not recommended for most users. 

Tip: In-App Purchases do require a password before completion, but they can be completely restricted on your device, if preferred. For information on how to do this for the Apple iPad, read our step-by-step guide. For information on how to do this for the Android tablet, click here.
