Tap any game to learn how it plays and start a room with a friend.
Voice chat
Private rooms have push-to-talk voice built in. It is off until you turn it on, it never records, and both players get report and block controls from the same screen.
No separate call to set up, no third app open on the side.
Why it feels quick
The whole stack is designed to disappear so the game stays in front.
Moves arrive instantly over WebSocket. Plays well even on a 3G connection.
Create a private room, share the link, your opponent joins. No email, no password, no friction.
Browser, installable PWA, and native iOS and Android apps. Same games, same room codes, everywhere.
No one around? Practice against a built-in AI with three difficulty levels — minimax under the hood.
The rules, briefly
A quick refresher so nobody has to argue the rules mid-match.
Two players take turns placing their mark (X or O) on a 3×3 grid. The first to line up three marks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins. If all nine cells fill without a line, it's a draw — which happens a lot once you both know the optimal openings.
Players take turns dropping colored discs into a 7-column, 6-row vertical grid. Discs fall to the lowest empty slot, so you can only choose a column, not a row. First to line up four discs in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. Stacking your way into a fork wins more games than rushing the middle.
Played on a 15×15 grid with black and white stones. Players alternate placing a stone on any empty intersection. The first to form an unbroken line of exactly five stones — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. There's no capturing and no piece movement; every move is final, which makes early-game shape recognition disproportionately important.
Both players pick simultaneously: rock crushes scissors, scissors cut paper, paper covers rock. Identical picks tie. Matches are best-of-three rounds. No strategy table will save you — it's reflexes, reads, and the willingness to pick rock three times in a row to mess with your opponent's head.
Each player starts with 12 pieces on the dark squares of an 8×8 board. Pieces move diagonally one square forward; you capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it into an empty square beyond. Multi-jumps chain together. A piece that reaches the opposite back row is crowned a king and can move both directions. You win by capturing all opponent pieces or blocking every legal move.
