Mola vs Honest Backgammon

Mola is a calm collection of games for a short break at the table. Backgammon, Pishti, Okey, Chess and a color-matching card game: all five in one app, all five against bots. No internet needed. No account, no sign-in. Mola collects no data and shows no ads. THE GAMES • Backgammon: matches to 3, 5 or 7 points, gammon scoring, and you can take a move back before ending your turn. • Pishti: a Turkish card game; play to 51, 101 or 151 points with classic scoring, including pishti and jack pishti. • Okey: a Turkish tile game; you and three bots, single hand or countdown from 20; indicator, okey, false okey and finishing with pairs. • Chess: play white, black or random; castling, en passant, promotion and automatic draws; take your last move back before the bot answers. • Color: a card game of matching colors and numbers; against 1-3 bots, single hand or to 100, 200 or 500 points; skip, reverse, +2, +4 and a "Last card!" call. THREE LEVELS IN EVERY GAME Every game has an Easy, a Medium and a Hard bot. The Easy bot plays at random, just right for getting started. The Medium bot rarely misses an opening. The Hard bot calculates ahead; in Chess the bots look one to five moves ahead. WHAT'S INSIDE • Resume where you left off: an unfinished match is saved, so you can close the app and pick it up later. • How to play: a short rules page for every game, for newcomers. • Profile: 15 badges and stats for each game (win rate, finished matches and game-specific numbers). • Easy to use: pick a piece or a card, the legal spots light up, tap. No move lists. • Looks: follows your system, or choose light or dark; three table styles (Classic, Dark walnut, Green marble). • Sound and haptics: game sounds, volume, vibration and game speed settings. • Turkish and English. PRIVACY Mola never connects to the internet. Your badges, stats and unfinished matches stay on your device. No ads, no in-app purchases. On a coffee break, on the way, or in a quiet evening: open a game, play a few hands, close it.

I made this game because I couldn't find a single backgammon app on the store whose dice I could trust. Suspiciously lucky opponents, double after double at exactly the right moment… So I built the one I wanted to play. HONEST DICE, NOTHING HIDDEN • Against the computer, your dice and the AI's dice come from the same random generator. The AI gets no special rolls and only plays with the dice you see on the board. • Online, neither phone decides the dice: the server rolls them with cryptographic randomness. • Watch it yourself: a live dice-distribution chart for both players during every match, and full dice statistics in your profile. • Real 3D dice, thrown with physics. Tap to roll, or pick them up and shake them in your hand. PLAY YOUR WAY • Single player against a strong computer opponent • Two players on the same device: single game, or first to 3 or 5 points • Online: quick match against real players, or add friends and invite them to a match • Classic rules with gammons; resign and gammon offers like at a real table • Turn clock, undo, move highlights in the colors you choose BEAUTIFUL 3D WORLDS — OR A LIGHT 2D VIEW • Play in a traditional Turkish coffeehouse, at a creekside picnic, on an Aegean beach, by a log-cabin fireplace, in a Bedouin tent among the dunes — or on the Moon • Prefer it simple? Switch to the 2D view: a clean top-down board that uses less battery and runs smoothly on older phones MAKE IT YOURS • 12 boards, 21 dice sets and 19 checker sets (5 of each glowing) • 10 characters with their own backgrounds, and 10 free emotes to tease your opponent • Levels, XP and achievements FAIR TO PLAY • Everything that affects the game is free.
