Six Sticks brings the ancient Chinese game of Liubo back to life. First played in the royal courts of the Han Dynasty over 2,000 years ago and lost when its rules were buried with their players, the game has been reconstructed from archaeological evidence and tomb paintings — and now fits in your pocket. THROW THE STICKS Cast six bamboo sticks to determine your move. Strategy meets fortune as you navigate the bronze board, capture stones, and race for the center Pond. THREE GAME MODES — Daily Challenge: a quick one-point match (about a minute). Perfect for a single break or a daily brain workout. — Best of 3: ranked competitive play (about five to seven minutes). Climb from Beginner I all the way to Heavenly Master. — Liubo Classic: the full historical game with the authentic fish-and-nest rules (fifteen to twenty-five minutes). ELEVEN AI OPPONENTS WITH PERSONALITY Face uniquely styled opponents from the Curious Child to the Heavenly Master, each painted by hand and tuned to a different skill level. The matchmaking system pairs you against an opponent that fits your current rating. RANKED PROGRESSION A Glicko-2 rating system tracks your strength across nineteen ranks. Win streaks, level XP, and per-opponent records all live on your Profile page so you can watch yourself improve. GAME CENTER Optional Game Center sign-in unlocks global leaderboards for rating and longest win streak. Your stats sync across all your iOS devices. HAND-CRAFTED DESIGN Stone and jade pieces, bamboo throwing sticks, an ornate bronze board, and original portraits for every opponent — all rendered in a Han Dynasty palette. The interface stays out of the way so the game can breathe.
