With Checker-wise you can play international 10x10 checkers. Its most unique feature is an interface to the database of the games of the Dutch national checkers competition. A lot of attention has been paid to the graphics, with the aim to make it look beautiful, without any distracting bling-bling. All moves are animated. You can choose from 2 different sets of pieces. Checker-wise has VoiceOver integration, making it the only mobile checkers application which is fully accessible to blind users. PLAY Games can be either for 1 or 2 players, and either with or without a clock. Of course, all the standard features like swapping sides or rotating the board are available. The engine contains a strong opening book. ANALYZE Checker-wise contains a separate screen for analyzing positions. You can try out side variations and return to the main line with a simple double tap on the corresponding move in the move list. You can ask the engine for an evaluation. SETUP You can setup a position using an intuitive interface. REPLAY Look through the game you just played, and email the game notation, or copy it to the clipboard. TOURNAMENT BASE Checker-wise contains an interface to all of the games of the Dutch national checker competition. You can not only play through the games of the masters, but also analyse their games with the onboard engine, or take over the play from any position. And new games are added every week! EXERCISES Finally, there is a large collection of exercises which keeps track of which ones you've solved. Each of these features alone is worth the price of Checker-wise! And regular updates expand the possibilities of Checker-wise even more. Checker-wise is based on the Tjes engine (developed by me in 1996). Enjoy!

Siege is a 3D abstract strategy board game designed for calm, focused play. Place cubes on a grid, stack them with gravity, and capture your opponent's pieces by surrounding them on all four sides. Captured cubes are removed from the board — pieces above fall down, triggering cascading chain reactions. Every exterior face of your cubes scores points, including ground-level faces. The player with the most points wins. Like Go in three dimensions. FEATURES • 3D board with gravity — cubes fall and stack naturally in three dimensions • Capture by surrounding — block all 4 lateral sides to remove a piece, triggering gravity and cascading captures • Go-inspired rules — no-suicide and superko prevent infinite loops and add depth • 3 grid sizes — 3x3 (quick, 5 min), 4x4 (standard, 15 min), 5x5 (deep, 25 min) • 3 AI difficulty levels — from casual to expert • Online multiplayer — invite a friend or play via automatic matchmaking • Optional Line Bonus — score extra points for completing full lines • 26 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and 18 more • Ambient music and clean visuals — designed as an escape from the noise NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. Simple rules you can learn in 30 seconds, but with surprising strategic depth. Every move matters, and every move deserves a moment of thought. Play locally against the AI, pass-and-play with a friend, or play online — invite a friend or jump into automatic matchmaking. Designed as a physical board game 10 years ago. Finally brought to life in 3D.
