Kottabos: Ancient Greek Game

The symposium party game

$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New: Water Duel! Challenge friends to a live wine-flinging showdown — plus the real history of the ancient Greek game of kottabos. Kottabos brings the ancient Greek symposium to your pocket — part interactive history lesson, part skill game. Kottabos (κότταβος) was the favourite game of the Greek drinking party: guests flicked the last drops of wine from their cups at a balanced target, calling out names and omens. This app teaches you the real history — drawn from ancient writers like Pollux and Athenaeus — and lets you play a modern take on it. LEARN • Illustrated topics on the game's history, apparatus, and technique • A glossary of Greek terms, with transliterations and meanings • Honest about what the sources do and don't tell us PLAY • Flick your cup at the target in two modes: topple the bronze disk on the pole, or sink the floating saucers • Practise solo, or play against a bot VERSUS — live multiplayer • Create a private room and challenge friends, or quick-match an open room • First to 5 hits wins; chat with your opponents at the table
