Minecraft

Build, mine and survive in an endless block world

iPhoneiPad4.5845K ratings$6.99

The verdict

Mine blocks, craft tools and build anything, either in Creative mode with unlimited resources or in Survival mode where you have to make it through the night. The iPhone and iPad version is Bedrock Edition, so kids can play with friends on other platforms, and it costs $6.99 once. A private Realms world for the family adds $3.99 a month, and Terraria at $2.99 is the cheaper 2D take on digging and building.
