Loki's Leikr brings together eight classic board games in one beautiful
app, unified by a Norse-inspired aesthetic.
THE GAMES
• Ludo - the classic Norwegian Ludo with two named rule sets ("Hoenir"
from Norway and "Røros" with extra attack rules), plus a custom mode
where you can toggle 10 individual rule settings yourself.
• Backgammon - three variants (Standard, Hypergammon, Acey-deucy), an
optional doubling cube, and match play to 1, 3, 5, or 7 points.
• Hnefatafl - the Viking board game where attackers try to surround
the king and defenders help him escape to a corner. Three board
sizes: Tablut 9×9, Hnefatafl 11×11, and Alea Evangelii 19×19.
• Nine Men's Morris (Mylna) - two variants (9-piece and 12-piece, the
latter with extra diagonals and four extra mills), with an optional
flying phase when one side has only three pieces left.
• Draughts (Dam / Checkers) - five international variants: English,
Russian, International (10×10), Canadian (12×12), and Turkish (with
orthogonal rather than diagonal movement).
• Alquerque - the medieval Iberian ancestor of modern draughts,
played on a 5×5 graph with 12 pieces per side.
• Gomoku - five in a row. Two rule sets (Free Gomoku and Standard
Gomoku) and two board sizes (13×13 and 15×15).
• Chess - classic FIDE chess with three AI difficulty levels (Easy,
Normal, Hard), optional time controls (5+0, 10+0, 15+10, or
unlimited), an undo button, on-board legal-move hints, algebraic
notation, and full draw-offer and resignation flows.
SHARED FEATURES
• Play solo against the AI or with a friend on the same device
(hot-seat).
• Optional "pass the device to next player" hand-off screen.
• Statistics overlay that logs all your solo games with per-game
drill-down (variant, side, AI level, settings) and a 12-week
time-series chart.
• iCloud sync across devices - statistics, settings, and game setups
follow you automatically.
• Five languages: Norwegian, English, Old Norse (reconstructed
orthography), Greek, and Portuguese. Switch live inside the app.
• Animations, sound effects, and haptic feedback for satisfying
piece movement.
• Built-in rules tutorial for every game - no external manual needed.
PRIVACY
Loki's Leikr collects no personal information. No accounts, no email,
no advertising, no tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs.
Everything runs offline. iCloud sync (optional) goes directly between
your own devices via Apple - we never have access to the data.
DESIGN
The boards are drawn in a warm, woodgrain-inspired palette with soft
gold details. The background is a midnight-indigo starfield with a
subtle aurora at the bottom. Norse runes and typography decorate the
screen without dominating - the tone is playful and saga-tinged, not
dark or grim.
Suitable for the whole family - variants and AI difficulty levels are
adjustable so beginners and experienced players alike can find their
challenge.
