Nardi Jan brings Armenian long nardy to a clear, comfortable landscape experience on iPhone. ONLINE LONG NARDY Choose a match format and start searching. Nardi Jan first looks for a real player. If nobody is available after 15 seconds, a clearly labelled server bot joins so you can play without waiting. The server generates the dice, validates every move and keeps both devices in sync. Each turn has a visible 90-second limit; a disconnected player has 60 seconds to return, and the turn clock pauses during that recovery period. DESIGNED FOR COMFORT • Large board and easy-to-see checkers • Clear legal destinations and complete move paths • Readable opening roll and turn guidance • Smooth dice and checker animation • Sound and haptic feedback • Armenian, Russian and English interface • In-app guide to long nardy rules ACCOUNT AND PROGRESS Online play uses an account so tickets, earned coins, cosmetic ownership and match progress stay protected. Sign in with Apple is available on iPhone. Sign out and permanent account deletion are available inside the app. TICKETS AND COINS Every new account receives 8 match tickets. When the balance is zero, 3 free tickets can be claimed every 3 hours. Optional consumable ticket packs are also available. Match formats require 1, 2 or 3 tickets. Tickets provide match access and are never transferred to another player. If a match fails before the synchronized opening roll, the reserved ticket is returned. Once the opening roll begins, the ticket is consumed unless our server cancels the match because of a technical failure; in that case it is returned. When a full game is completed by bearing off every checker, both players receive the same fixed number of coins shown for the format. An early exit or timeout awards no coins. Tickets and coins have no cash value and cannot be transferred, withdrawn or redeemed for money or prizes. PERSONALISE THE BOARD Preview optional boards, checker sets and dice on the actual game board. Some appearances are unlocked with earned coins; others are one-time non-consumable purchases. Cosmetics never change the rules, dice or player strength. Eligible purchases can be restored. Nardi Jan has no subscriptions, recurring charges, real-money betting, cash prizes, loot boxes, advertising, chat or user-generated content.
