Play agains human players or our AI. Collect Techus! Collect Decks. Collect Boards. Our game is 100% artist made, no AI! How to play: Techu is a 2 player game. Red vs Black. Aces are the highest ranked card. There are 25 playable spaces on a 5×5 grid. The player with the most spaces at the end of the game wins. Rules: Rule #1: Higher cards outrank lower cards. Rule #2: Card played must connect back to the player’s own home row. How to Start: Split the deck into red & black. Pick a color and shuffle. Each player draws the top 3 cards from their deck into their hand. Both players play a card on the center space of their home row. The player who plays the lowest ranked card gets the first turn in the game. If both players play the same ranked card at the start of the game, each draws and plays again in their home row until a player prevails. Continuing Play: A player begins their turn by drawing 1 card into their hand, for a total of 3 cards. A player can play their card on any space as long as Rule #1 and Rule #2 are followed. Once a player places a card on the grid and reveals its rank, the turn is over and cannot be changed. Winning the Game: When both players are out of cards, the game is finished. The player with the most spaces at the end of the game wins. Common Q/A: A player can always discard rather than play on a turn. A player can play on their own card as long as Rule #1 and Rule #2 are followed. Same-rank cards cannot be played on each other. A card must connect to it’s home in vertical & horizontal directions (not diagonally). What is a Techu? A Techu is a celebration of the little guy! Low ranked cards ultimately change the game of Techu. A Techu is when you win and finish the game by either placing a 3 on an opponents 2, or placing a 2 on an empty space. ----------------------- We want to ensure you’re informed about how we handle your data when you join.

ROGUEGAMMON

Read full description

ROGUEGAMMON is backgammon rebuilt for a world where the rules can be hacked. (It was called NEXTGAMMON until version 1.0.26.) Play the game you know — same board, same dice, same pip counting — but every match you draft mutation cards that bend the laws of backgammon in your favor. Skip a roll. Steal a checker. Reroll the dice. Your opponent is drafting too, and the card you pick is as important as the dice you roll. FREE 1v1 QUICK MATCH Pick one of three random cards and jump into a fast one-on-one match against the CPU anytime. No account, no sign-up, no waiting. Completely free forever. RUN MODE — THE FULL CAMPAIGN Unlock a 44-stage campaign spread across 7 Acts — Boot Sector, Street Level, The Grid, Deep Net, Black Market, Core Breach, and Singularity. Each Act ends in a Protocol Boss: a rule-breaking opponent with no deck of their own, just a corrupted rule set you have to out-think. The final boss, Omega Core, runs every protocol you have beaten and switches to a new one every 3 turns. Collect all 44 mutation cards — common, rare, epic, and legendary — as you climb. Run Mode is a one-time unlock, and it also removes ads from the entire app. TWO WAYS TO RUN - Campaign: lose a match and replay the same stage. - Roguelite: lose once and the run goes back to stage 1, but every card you have won stays in your deck, and every stage pays double chips. CYBER LAB Inspect every card you've collected, study its effect, and plan your next run. WHY YOU'LL STAY - Real backgammon strategy at the core — this isn't a reskin, it's the actual game - A deckbuilding layer that changes how every match plays out - A full campaign with bosses, not just endless matches - A one-time Run Mode unlock for the full campaign, with no ads and no subscription Free players see a small banner on the main menu and an occasional ad between 1v1 Quick Matches. Run Mode owners never see an ad, anywhere in the app. Reboot the oldest game on the board.
