Kvint

Kvint is a calm, focused strategy game for two, a fresh take on Five in a Row with extra ways to win. Place a pawn, think a few moves ahead, win the board. THREE WAYS TO WIN • Connect five pawns in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. • Land a pawn in the black square at the center of the board. • Hold two opposite corners with pawns of matching color. Each rule pulls you in a different direction. Push hard for five and your opponent slips a corner. Defend the corners and the center is wide open. Every game is a small puzzle of priorities. PLAY ANY WAY YOU LIKE • Solo — face the AI across four difficulty tiers, from Novice to Master. • Local 2P — pass the device, share a board. • Online — invite a friend with a QR code, or paste a code from theirs. Encrypted peer-to-peer; no servers in between. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No trackers. No analytics. No nudges to come back tomorrow. Just a board, a friend or an opponent, and a game you can finish in a tea break. The interface is dark, hand-laid type, gentle sounds. Built to disappear behind the game. PRIVACY Kvint does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. Your display name lives only on your device and on the local network when you're looking for nearby players. Online play uses end-to-end encryption between you and your opponent. Read the full policy at the link below.
