Jelmata is a strategy game in which your score is the product of the sizes of your connected components. Place cells on the board, and any that touch orthogonally form a group. One group of 6 scores just 6. But split that into groups of 4 and 2? That's 4 × 2 = 8. This one rule changes everything. Do you extend a group to block your opponent, or break away to start a new one? Every cell you place shifts the math for both players — and a single move can flip who's winning. • FOUR AI DIFFICULTIES Learn the ropes on Easy, then work your way up to Elite — a neural network trained through hundreds of thousands of self-play games. • LOCAL MULTIPLAYER Pass the device and go head-to-head with a friend. • MULTIPLE BOARD SIZES Quick 5×5 matches or deep 8×8 battles. Pick the board that fits the moment. • GLOBAL LEADERBOARD See how you rank against players worldwide. • HINTS Stuck? Use hint credits to see a strong move. • GO PRO Remove ads, unlock Elite AI, and get unlimited undo.
