PlayHub Games Guide: 11 Board, Card and Puzzle Games in One App
A guide to every game in PlayHub, from online Chess, Durak and Poker to solo puzzles, plus how snippets, stickers and coupons reward every round.

PlayHub is a mobile games hub from Softick that puts 11 classic board, card, tile, and puzzle games in one app. You sign in once, pick a game from a shared lobby, and either jump into a live match against other players or play solo on your own time.
This guide covers every game in the catalog, how online and solo play differ, and how the snippet, sticker, and coupon rewards work, so you know what to try first.
What is PlayHub?#
PlayHub is built multiplayer-first. Every title shares the same lobby, the same account, and the same payments, so moving from a game of chess to a round of Durak takes a tap rather than a new download. It runs on iOS and Android, and you can also play on the web at playhub.az.
Online multiplayer games#
Six PlayHub games are built for live matches against real opponents. These are the ones to open when you want a proper head-to-head or a table full of players.
| Game | Type | Players |
|---|---|---|
| Chess | Strategy | 2 |
| Fleet Battle | Tactical | 2 |
| Domino | Tile | 2 to 4 |
| Durak | Cards | 2 to 4 |
| Blackjack | Cards | 2 to 4 |
| Poker | Cards | 2 to 6 |
Chess#
The classic one-on-one strategy game. If you already know the rules, this is the quickest way to see how PlayHub matchmaking works.
Fleet Battle#
A tactical two-player game in the style of the classic battleship board game: place your fleet, then take turns calling shots to find and sink your opponent's ships before they sink yours.
Domino and Durak#
Domino and the card game Durak both seat two to four players, which makes them good picks for playing with friends or family. Durak is especially popular across Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, and it rewards careful card counting more than luck.
Blackjack and Poker#
Blackjack seats two to four players and Poker up to six, so these are the busiest tables in the lobby. They are the best choice when you want a fast, social round rather than a long strategic match.
Solo games#
The other five games are single-player, so you can pick them up for a minute or two whenever you have a break, with no waiting for an opponent.
- Merge Number: a number-merging puzzle in the spirit of 2048. Slide tiles and combine matching numbers to reach higher values.
- Hex Territory: a solo strategy game about claiming ground on a hexagon grid.
- Letter Hunt: a word puzzle where you work out the hidden word from letter clues.
- Solitaire: the classic patience card game.
- Wood Grid: a block puzzle where you fit pieces into a wooden grid and clear lines.
How PlayHub rewards work: snippets, stickers, and coupons#
PlayHub rewards you for playing, not just for winning. The loop has five steps:
- Sign in with one account across iOS, Android, and the web.
- Play games from the shared lobby.
- Earn snippets: every round drops snippet fragments, whether you win, lose, or just play it through.
- Build a sticker by collecting matching snippets and merging them into a complete sticker.
- Redeem coupons by trading finished stickers for real coupons from partner brands.
Which PlayHub game should you play first?#
- If you want a competitive one-on-one match, start with Chess or Fleet Battle.
- If you are playing with friends, open Domino or Durak.
- If you want a lively table, try Poker or Blackjack.
- If you only have a minute, play Wood Grid, Merge Number, or Letter Hunt.
