Dhayam is the classic South Indian dice-and-token race game your family has played for generations — now on your phone, with none of the setup. Race your tokens from reserve, around the shared ring, and into your own home path. Roll a 1 (dhayam) to bring a token into play, land on an opponent to send them back to reserve, and rest on the motif-marked safe houses where nothing can touch you. PLAY YOUR WAY • Vs. Computer — practice or challenge a CPU opponent any time • Pass & Play — hand the phone around for local multiplayer on one device • Play Online — invite a friend with a simple room code, no sign-up or account required CUSTOMIZE THE RULES Tune entry rolls, extra-turn values, safe houses, banked rolls, and more to match how your family has always played. MADE TO FEEL RIGHT • Four hand-crafted board skins • Satisfying sound effects and haptic feedback • Track your wins, losses, and streaks across CPU and online play • Clean, focused, dark-themed interface No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Just the game.
