Description
Arimaa is one of the fastest growing modern strategy games. Rules are simple and intuitive enough for kids to play easily, yet there is more than enough strategic depth to satisfy the most demanding gamer. If you enjoy challenging games like Chess, Checkers, Go, or Shogi, discover Arimaa and see why it was chosen in the Discovery Channel's list of the Top 10 Mind-bending Strategy Games and also recommended by Scientific American MIND magazine.
“The rules are simple enough for kids to learn, and the game was creative and engaging.”
—Frederik Joelving; Scientific American Mind magazine
With millions of opening setups to choose from, every game requires creative thinking right from the beginning and no need to memorize openings. It's a never ending puzzle, each game is different. In just the first 10 moves of Arimaa there's more possible games than there are atoms in our universe.
“Because the number of possible moves in an Arimaa position (roughly 20,000) is much higher than in chess (about 30 or so), even the fastest computers will not be able to search very far into the tree of possibilities.”
—R. Wayne Schmittberger; GAMES magazine

Ratings and Reviews
Best arimaa app out there, but that’s not saying much
Pretty glitchy. Often kills games for no reason. No option to review a game right after it’s completed (instead of letting you see the movelist, the app freezes up and forced you to close it as soon as either player scores goal). The normal bot is really susceptible to throwing away its camel on turn 4 or so. No option for human to play as silver? The bot, upon sensing that the human has a goal in 1, will just start suiciding pieces for no reason, instead of trying to hang on. (Once or twice i only won because the bot suicided its elephant, letting me know that I’d overlooked a goal somewhere).
Annoying feature
When it is two player, i dont like the replay of moves. I can already see them well upside down. Make a option for no replay between turns. Thanks
Love the game, but the app could use improvement
Arimaa is an awesome board game, and the app is good, but it could be improved with some quick updates:
1) Add a feature to let players toggle moves turn-by-turn to study games and see where they went wrong.
2) Add a board editor for specific positions
3) Allow for multiple games to be saved
