## What is Banco?

Two pawns. One board. A single question: who crosses first?

Banco is pure strategy — no dice, no luck. Each turn you choose: move one square forward, or place a wall to lengthen your opponent's path. Ten walls each, and one rule that changes everything — you can never fully trap someone. A path must always remain.

Easy to understand in thirty seconds. Hard to master.

PLAY ONLINE
Face players from around the world in ranked matches. A rating tracks your progress, and the world leaderboard shows where you really stand. Every move is refereed on the server: nobody can cheat a move, a clock or a score.

PLAY WITH A FRIEND
Create a room, share the eight-digit code, and challenge anyone anywhere. Pick the stake before you start: 10, 15, 30 or 50 points.

OFFLINE, ALWAYS AVAILABLE
No connection? The game still works. Face the computer across three levels — from the Apprentice who just moves forward to the Master who reads your reply — or hand the phone over for two players on one screen.

WHAT MAKES MATCHES ALIVE
• Five minutes each, a clock that only runs on your turn
• In-game chat: quick reactions or a written message
• Replay any match move by move, at five speeds
• Instant rematch, with the series score on screen
• Ten languages, including Wolof, Hausa and Swahili

NO TRAPS
No ads. No forced purchase. Points are in-game currency, never real money — and if your balance hits zero, you get more for free after twelve hours.

A thinking game for people who like to plan two moves ahead.
