We have been playing this game for over 1500 years, and today it is played in almost 200 countries around the world - with new secrets still being discovered.

Ratings and reviews

good game but very glitchy!! sometimes if you finish a game (win or lose) and then exit the app without fully closing it properly, next time you run it you can "loose" the game from timeout, even though your game was already finished, costing you elo. aswell as that if you send a rematch to another player and they just happen to send one back and you accept theirs first, finish that second game, they can accept your rematch which then automatically looses white by timeout, without being played

I like this game ,the puzzles and playing with the robot that you can change its level. but some things could be improved when I play online it sometimes teams me up with someone who has a level a lot higher than me so I mostly lose ,it would be great if it gave us the choice to accept or decline the mach with the opponent before starting with showing their rank , or automatically teaming up people with the same level or a very small difference ,ooh maybe let us choose the range. over all nice

Hello, I really enjoy using this app, and I have a feature suggestion that I believe would improve the experience for many players. It would be great if we could continue chatting with our online friends even after a game has ended. Right now, the chat is mainly tied to the game, but having a separate friends chat would make it much easier to stay connected, discuss games, and simply talk with friends anytime they are online. thanks.
