a moody, noir-styled chess game built for two people who just want to play — not create accounts, remember passwords, or manage a clock. Start a game and send a short private invite code through Messages or any share sheet. Your friend taps it and you're both at the board in seconds. No email, no password, no friction. Want a handle instead? Claim a personal @handle with a live free-or-taken check as you type — still no sign-in form, ever. Beginners are genuinely welcome here. Tap any piece to see every legal move, captures marked differently, and the king glows the moment it's in check. Illegal moves are refused gently, never with a lecture. No friend online right now? Run a quick match against anyone, or practice against the app at one of three strengths that genuinely differ. Gentle wanders and leaves pieces hanging. Steady punishes obvious mistakes but misses deeper tricks. Sharp plays the strongest move it can find — and hides the legal-move dots entirely, so you read the board yourself. There are no hints anywhere in Gambit. Every game is won on your own judgment. Every rule is here: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate, stalemate, repetition, and insufficient material. Follow the action in a live move list with classic notation and step-back review. Offer a draw, resign, or start a rematch with colours flipped. Left mid-game? Gambit remembers exactly where you were, even after losing signal, so you can pick the position back up whenever you're ready. Your first three games are free — no card and no sign-up. Spend them however you like, practice or against a friend. After that, Gambit Club unlocks unlimited games for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. A board you have already started always stays playable. Gambit Club is an auto-renewing subscription that continues until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ No clocks. No puzzles. No ratings. No spectators. Just an atmospheric, confident board and the people you choose to sit down at it with. Download Gambit and send your first invite code tonight.
Risk vs Compliance
Read full descriptionHide full description
Risk vs Compliance is a hero tower defense game set in an office world, where the risk department and the compliance department finally settle the score. Pick a side. Risk builds spreadsheet models, stress tests and drones. Compliance answers with stamp towers, rulebooks and catapults. Both teams want the same thing: to take down the other side's HQ. HOW TO PLAY • Steer your hero with one thumb and aim with the other. The power shot has aim assist. • Build barracks, towers and factories in your zone. You pay – the whole team benefits. • Run into the quiz balls and answer correctly for a cash bonus that grows with every correct answer in a row. The questions cover music, TV, film, sports, games and office life. • Expand your HQ with a shield wall, corner cannons, an extension and a rotating superlaser on the roof. • After fifteen minutes the Audit arrives, and before long the match ends, one way or another. PLAY WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES • Up to ten players, five against five. Empty slots can be filled with bots. • Online with a lobby code, or on the same Wi-Fi without internet. • Quick match against bots when you want to play alone, at three difficulty levels. • No accounts, no login, no ads and no in-app purchases. • Play on iPhone or iPad. On iPad it works just as well in landscape as in portrait. FOUR MAPS The car deck of the night ferry, the open-plan office on floor 4, the vendor's server hall and the bank vault after closing time – with spinning warning lights, cold air rising from the floor and laser alarms in front of the gold. THE QUARTERLY REPORT After the match, the graph shows how staff, revenue, assets and the HQ developed, and exactly when the tide turned. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The game is available in English and Swedish.
