Scurvy Scallywags is a delightful combination of match-three and RPG mechanics. You're able to move your pirate around the board by matching three or more of the same tiles. Each match will shift the board in the direction of your swipe. Try to collect treasure and power so you will have enough loot and energy to wipe out your enemies. After each round you're able to upgrade your attributes and obtain new skills. The game includes 100 items to customize your pirate with, epic boss battles, nine ship types, loads of side quests, randomly generated islands, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Why we picked this?

In Motorsport Manager, strategy is key. Make the wrong move and your entire team will fail. As the boss, your job is to hire drivers, develop your car, invest in technology, and formulate a pitstop plan. Then put your car and driver on the track and watch the race play out in-real time. If you like, you can be even more hands-on during the race by jumping into the strategy screens to react to weather changes, crashes, and safety car periods.

You enjoy the ins and outs of managing a team.

You want to actually race a Formula 1 car. You’re never in direct control.
