Published average
We sort by the App Store US star average. Sample size stays visible so a thin rating pool is obvious.
We open a Strategy Session on the hopper with three published averages
4.8
Sky: Children of the Light
4.7
MARVEL SNAP - Hero Card Game
4.6
The Battle of Polytopia
We are a small Oslo desk. On 22 October 2026 we re-read three App Store cards for a Strategy Session and ranked them by US star average. No public install counter sits on those cards — we did not invent one.
How we weigh a Strategy Session card
Four criteria stay on the hopper before any rank moves.
Age line
Every card here reads Age 9+. We keep that line next to the facts so a Strategy Session pick is clear for shared devices.
Download weight
We quote the listing size. Sky sits near 3 GB; the others stay under half a gigabyte. No install counters appear on App Store cards.
Freshness
Version and last update date come straight from the card we opened on 22 October 2026.
