Forgotten Games brings seven traditional strategy board games from around the world together in one carefully crafted collection for iPhone and iPad.
Explore distinctive games of capture, alignment, movement and sowing. Each board has its own rhythm, rules and strategic character, supported by clear guidance, cultural context and source notes.
THE SEVEN GAMES
• Oware — a sowing game presented in Ghanaian and Akan contexts
• Bagh-Chal — the asymmetric tiger-and-goat game of Nepal
• Kōnane — a Hawaiian game of capture and blocked movement
• Shisima — a fast alignment game associated with the Tiriki community of western Kenya
• Tsoro Yematatu — a compact three-in-a-row game from Zimbabwe
• Seega — a custodial-capture game documented in Egypt and Mount Sinai records
• Hnefatafl — an asymmetric tafl game using the modern Fetlar rules revival
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Solo play against AI with three difficulty levels
• Pass & Play for two people sharing one device
• Nearby Play between two devices on the same Wi-Fi network
• Turn-based online matches through Apple Game Center

DESIGNED FOR DISCOVERY
Learn each game with concise rules, move guidance and stories that distinguish documented history from modern interpretation. Tactile boards, clear state changes and replay cues make every turn easy to follow.
Oware is included. Unlock the other six games individually with one-time in-app purchases. There are no subscriptions.
Rediscover a world of strategy, one board at a time.
