What's New in The Game of CULLS
1.2
August 5, 2026
A brand-new home: one PLAY NOW button, four ways to play — a friend, Quick Match, the bot, or Pass & Play. Board spaces now have names (A1–K5): the move log and cull confirmations read like a real board game. Culling is crystal clear — the board spotlights the chip you're about to cull, and you confirm before it happens. CULLS is now on iPad. Plus: losses against the bot now show as losses, and dozens of polish fixes.
