## What is Tapete?

Tapete is a case of board games for two people sharing one phone. No playing against the computer: here you always play with someone sitting across from you.

On a folding phone, the fold is part of the game:
• The hinge is the backgammon bar, the four-in-a-row frame and the chess net.
• In sea battle, you place your fleet, close the phone and pass it over. When it opens, the other player sees only their side.
• In brisca, stand the case up like a book and each of you sees only your own hand.

Compatible with iPhone Duo. On any other iPhone or iPad it plays the same: a curtain asks you to pass the phone whenever there is something the other player must not see.

FIFTEEN GAMES
• Sea battle, four in a row and air hockey, included.
• Backgammon, chess with clock, checkers, brisca, xiangqi, shogi, go, dominoes, tute, liar's dice, secret code and cribbage in the full case: one purchase, forever, shared with your family.
• Xiangqi with the river on the hinge and 9×9 or 13×13 go: the real classics, not mini-games.
• Shogi, Japanese chess, with traditional kanji pieces: what you capture goes to your hand and can be dropped back in, and on a folding phone each player gets a board on their own half, seen from their side.
• Liar's dice with each player's dice on their own half, secret code with close-and-pass, and cribbage with the peg board along the hinge.

MADE WITH CARE
• The real rules: Spanish checkers with flying kings and mandatory capture; chess with castling, en passant and every kind of draw; backgammon with single, gammon and backgammon wins.
• Felt, walnut and brass: a travel case, not a mini-game menu.
• Games save themselves: folding, a call or closing the app never loses one.
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics. No data collected.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-25

• New in the full case: shogi, Japanese chess, with traditional kanji pieces. What you capture goes to your hand and can be dropped back in; on a folding phone, each player gets a board on their own half.
• Small fixes.
• Try chess for six moves before buying.
• Clearer purchase screen and improvements to price loading and purchase handling.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-18

• Tapete now speaks 16 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Indonesian and Thai. It follows your phone's language.
• Small type tweaks for Asian languages.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-18

• Air hockey: a pause button on each side, with Resume and ‹ Games to get back to the menu.
• On phones without a fold, a single Games button instead of two.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-16

New: air hockey, free. Each player defends their goal with a finger, and on a foldable the hinge is the centre line. With haptics when you hit the puck and when you score.
You can now share Tapete from the case.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-15

Three new games in the full case: liar's dice, secret code and cribbage, with its peg board along the hinge. Thirteen in all. And the listing now shows Spanish as a supported language.
