Chess and Shogi join Reversi, Gomoku and Ataxx. Rotate a row or column and the back board flips into play. Try Any game to be matched in a randomly drawn game. One twist can turn the whole game around. KURUBAN links a front board and a back board. Rotate a row or column and everything on it flips between them. Five games in one app: Reversi, Gomoku, Ataxx, Chess and Shogi. CLASSIC GAMES, NEW MOVES Instead of moving a piece, rotate a row or column 180 degrees. Pieces hidden on the back board appear on the front, captured pieces come back, and five in a row can line up in a single move. Planning ahead has never felt so fresh. FIVE GAMES - KURUBAN Reversi: the classic capture-and-flip rules, on a 6x6 or 8x8 board. - KURUBAN Gomoku: get five in a row to win, or line them up with one rotation. - KURUBAN Ataxx: clone, jump, and convert your neighbors to take over the board. - KURUBAN Chess: an 8x8 board on each side, with castling, en passant and promotion. Capture both of your opponent's kings to win. - KURUBAN Shogi: a 9x9 board on each side, with promotion and drops. Captured pieces can be dropped on either board. Capture both kings to win. PLAY YOUR WAY - CPU: three levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard - Two players on one device: play with friends and family - Online: automatic matchmaking or room codes, with ratings and a game clock - Any game: get matched online in a game drawn from all five - Quick: start matchmaking from the Quick button on any game card with standard rules CPU and two-player games work offline.
