Familiar ideas, specific rules
Some games use familiar rules, including Klondike Solitaire, Sudoku, and English draughts. Others put a particular decision at the centre: in Airplanes, finding a cabin matters more than hitting every square; in paper Football, a bounce can keep your turn alive.
Ember Solitaire is BoomWick’s own variation on a solitaire table. Every card is visible, and you can choose two, three or four reserve spaces, with four by default. Using a reserve spends a charge that you restore through foundation moves. The puzzle is deciding when temporary space is worth its cost.
Road Fury combines four driving stages with a fuel budget. Its score rewards distance, overtakes, stage finishes, and fuel left at the line. A clean route can be more valuable than one risky pass.
Short Fuse turns a crate-filled arena into a contest of escape routes, bomb chains and closing space. Football uses a shared ball and drawn lines: a bounce can extend a turn, while an exhausted route ends the match. Their play notes explain these particular rules through decisions you can practise.
The games run here on BoomWick, with their own browser controls and shared play, settings, and replay flows. Each game’s rules describe the version you are playing, including differences from other versions you may know.
A place to learn the next move
The play notes work through individual decisions using diagrams and small interactive examples. You can compare two Ember routes, test an Airplanes hypothesis, or explore how a Road Fury finish is scored.
Those examples use the same rules as the games. Their explanations are available without JavaScript, while the interactive controls let you inspect the result of a choice. Practice examples do not overwrite your saved games or affect a leaderboard.
What you need to play
All games are free to play as a guest. Use a browser on a phone or computer; no download is required. Games with a Same device option let two people share a screen. Online modes need a connection and can use an invitation link or room code.
Where a game offers saved progress, it is stored in your current browser. It does not automatically follow your account to another device. Keep that browser’s site data to keep the save.
You can also install BoomWick from a supported browser. Supported solo games work offline once their files have been downloaded. Multiplayer rooms, accounts, and global leaderboards still need the internet.
