Combine suits of cards to add up to zero in Zilch Solitaire.

It’s a neat twist on a classic card game.

Why we picked this?

Achieving nothing has never been more fun. The goal of the game is to remove all of the cards in the blue zone by getting their values to equal zero. The more cards you use during each turn, the better your score. All of the black suit card values count up, and all of the red suit card values count down. Jokers remove all of the cards in view. You’re also able to utilize a limited number of helper cards, which are located in the yellow zone, in order to clear things up.

If you’re looking for something casual to play this weekend, Zilch Solitaire is it.

Besides Game Center leaderboards, there aren’t any other competitive elements.

Why we picked this?

Moto RKD Dash will leave you spinning. The game includes nine beautiful and highly detailed locations, all with race tracks that are giant loops. As you speed through them on your motorcycle, you’ll have to shift at the right moment to boost by your opponents. The angle of the track has an effect on how your motorcycle controls, so be prepared to lean into corners. The game includes two different modes as well.

If you like to be challenged, Moto RKD Dash will do just that. Its control system can take a bit of getting used to, so here’s a tip: don’t slide your finger over the corner of the screen. Just tap to steer.

It can be really frustrating.
