PLAY YOUR WAY

the other side of the screen.

NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. JUST THE GAME.
Download Russian Bank and discover why this two-player classic has stood the test of time.
- Smarter opponent. The bot now plans multi-step combos, frees tableau spaces, and closes out games in far fewer moves — and no longer stalls with a blocked reserve.
- Full VoiceOver support for the board.
- Multiplayer: rule settings now sync between players, and you'll see a reconnecting banner if your opponent drops. Plus a fix for "Stop!" wrongly penalizing a correct move, a confirm-tap on Pass, and a crash fix after phone-call interruptions.
