About Jambolaya

One app, more than 140 games

Jambolaya brings more than 140 games together in one place: board games such as chess, backgammon and checkers, card games such as hearts, rummy and solitaire, puzzles, brain games, word games and quick arcade games. Every game can be played on your own or against the computer, every game explains its rules, and most come with a guided lesson that teaches you by playing.

Why we made it

Screens often keep people apart, even at home. Jambolaya was made to do the opposite: to bring family and friends together around a game. Sitting in the same room, each on their own phone or tablet, you can play one game together — no Wi-Fi or internet needed.

For every age

Children, parents and grandparents all play Jambolaya. That is why the cards are big, the boards are clear and every game explains itself. Jambolaya speaks ten languages, including Hebrew and Arabic.

Who we are

Jambolaya is made by Eli Aloni, an independent developer. The apps for Android, iPhone and iPad have no ads and need no account. This website shows ads, which helps keep the games free to play in your browser.
