About this game
The Scholar's Grid revives three ancient and medieval strategy board games in one app. Learn classic historical games in minutes, sharpen your tactics, and step onto the scholar grid for a quick match - offline or online.
Whether you love abstract board games or traditional mind games, discover a timeless collection of historical strategy variants brought to life with modern polish.
THE GAMES
Hnefatafl (Viking Chess / Tafl): An asymmetric medieval siege game on an 11x11 board. One side defends a king and races for the corners; the other surrounds and captures.
Alquerque+: A fast jump-capture elimination game on a 6x6 line grid - the ancient ancestor of checkers and draughts.
Rithmomachia (The Philosophers' Game): A legendary mathematical strategy classic, coming in a later update.
WAYS TO PLAY
Whether you want to challenge local AI or test your skills on the scholar grid against global opponents, there is a mode for you:
Single Player vs Local AI: Features three tiers: Casual, Adaptive, and Master. Perfect for offline strategy practice.
Pass & Play: Hot-seat multiplayer on a single device.
Online Multiplayer: Async matchmaking with global Standings and chess-style ELO.
LEARN AS YOU GO
The Codex: Gives a 30-second visual rule breakdown for every ancient board game in the app.
An optional first-launch walkthrough gets new players moving fast.
PREMIUM, FAIR, AND CALM
No forced ads. Fully premium experience.
Cosmetic-only purchases: board skins and piece sets. No pay-to-win mechanics.
Tactile pieces with realistic weight, snap, and haptics.
Full portrait and landscape support.
