Yes — Township is multiplayer, and it works on phones rather than needing a console or a PC. Below is what the multiplayer actually involves, so you know what you are signing up for as a pair.
What kind of multiplayer Township has
Township is a simulation game, and it is the kind of game you open at the end of a long day. Township blends farming with city-building — grow crops, run factories and develop a bustling town. As a couple game it is a relaxing one to play side by side, swapping tips and growing your towns.
The multiplayer is online, so you do not have to be in the same room. One of you can be on the sofa and the other on a train and the session works the same either way.
Playing it as two people
A lot of mobile multiplayer is built for big lobbies and reads as lonely with only two of you. Township holds up better than most, for three reasons:
- Build and grow something together at a relaxing pace.
- Visit and help each other’s world any time.
- Cozy, creative and easy to dip into daily.
In other words it is worth the second download, which is not true of every multiplayer game on the store.
Getting into a session together
- Install Township on both phones.
- Add each other as neighbours or friends.
- Build and grow your world at your own pace.
- Agree roughly when you will play — the games that stick are the ones with a slot, not the ones you both mean to open.
Township is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
If Township is not the right fit
Multiplayer is not one thing, and a game that suits a full friend group can feel thin with two. If that is where you land, these are the closest alternatives in the same space:
- Hay Day — Hay Day is Supercell’s relaxing farming game where you grow crops, raise animals and trade goods.
- FarmVille 3 — FarmVille 3 is the classic social farming game reborn, with animals to raise and a farm to grow at your own pace.
- Our Flower Garden — Our Flower Garden is a cozy mobile game where you and your partner tend one shared garden — planting, watering and harvesting flowers to fill orders together.
You can browse the whole shortlist on our couple games page.
Where to go next
One more suggestion, unrelated to Township: keep something running that neither of you can lose at. Our Flower Garden is ours — a shared garden, tended a few minutes at a time.
