FAQ
Questions we get
How do I play right now?
Open the game in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
Do I need an account?
No. The browser build is playable without signing up, and we do not ask you to create an account to try the game.
Is there an Android app?
Not on Google Play yet. An Android release is in preparation, and we will link the listing here as soon as it is live. Until then the browser version is the way to play.
Is there an iOS app?
Not at this stage. The browser version works on iPhone and iPad in the meantime.
The board looks cramped on my phone. What can I do?
Turn your phone to landscape for the widest view of the 10-file board. If something is still unreadable, that is a bug worth reporting.
Can I buy the physical game?
Not through this site yet. Ordering, pricing and availability are not being announced at this stage, so you can register interest on the Physical Game page and we will let you know when copies are available.
How do I delete my data?
Use the form on the Delete Account page. Because the browser game does not require an account, the only data we are likely to hold is an email address you typed into a form yourself.
