Poleana is the Mexican classic of dice and tokens: the board game you grew up with, with its real rules and no shortcuts. Get your pieces out, go around the board and reach home before anyone else. Sounds easy until they eat you one square from the goal. THE COMPLETE RULES, NOT A SOFTENED VERSION • Mandatory priorities: if you can eat, you eat. If you don't, it's a foul and your most advanced piece goes home. • Eating grants you 10 free squares — and those 10 can land you on another capture. • Blockades that stop everyone, you included. • Police squares: if a rival stops there and you roll their number, they go back to start without costing you a die. • Bridges to cut across and safe squares where nobody can touch you. ONLINE OR OFFLINE • Find a rival instantly, or create a private room and pass the code to whoever you want. • No signal? Play the machine, with four levels. The expert doesn't forgive. • Up to four players on the same phone, taking turns. • If your connection drops, your seat waits for you: the match goes on and you can come back. TWO BOARDS • Classic: the usual match. • Express: short board, three pieces, about eight minutes. DAILY CHALLENGE A different hand-built position every day. Win it and keep your streak. CUSTOMIZE WITHOUT PAY TO WIN Pieces, boards, dice, animations and profile picture. All cosmetic: nothing you get gives you an advantage on the board. Ever. REACTIONS Tell your rival what you think without typing a word. LEARN BY PLAYING The tutorial isn't a wall of text: it's a real match with a copilot that speaks up exactly when it's needed, and gets out of the way when it isn't. You will never see an ad during a match. That's the promise.
