A Quantum Immortal

At least that’s how I feel after I played a single time at it.

It’s a combination of 16 more and less familiar games, which are time-slotted – just try it. Most games are very easy, but the rapid changing of games makes it challenging. Another bit of coolness is that it analyzes your different game skills:
