Great collection of forgotten games!

I originally found this app searching for a Konane game, but loved the fact it included Nine Mens Morris. I played Viking Chess for the first time in this app and now I’m hooked. I wish it were easier to invite others to play within the app, but other than that it’s wonderful and I highly recommend it!

All features are pay walled except the online games, which leaves this as the only avenue to actually, fully learn and enjoy the games. When you start a game it expressly states that failure to make a move in two days results in a forfeit. However, I have been waiting for a week and both games I started have remained untouched by my opponent and I have yet to receive any wins or a notice of a forfeit. The game is a great concept but I would prefer to deal with short adds and actually be able to play the games even if only with bots until it gains enough traction to attract players who may actually play.

Great but one suggestion

Overall, this is a fantastic game, beautiful music, and graphics, and great variety of ancient games. However would like to see an additional option of playing the computer in a mode where you can then keep head to head game statistics vs the computer, and not just a training mode. Hope that makes sense and thank you!

The creator offers a large set of ancient games, with many ways to play, all at an affordable price. The games are styled by skillful folk across the globe, wherever the games originated, and somehow the whole app still feels completely cohesive. Well done👏. Extra points for use of the rumble pack effect.
