Bonesai

Dominoes with new rules

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Bonesai is dominoes with new rules: the depth of chess and precisely measured luck. A standard double-six set — 28 tiles — and completely different rules: tiles don't line up in a chain, they grow as a tree from the root. Branches can be extended or pruned. Hands are open like in chess: both players see each other's tiles, and the only randomness is the face-down boneyard. Three ways to play: • two players at one screen, taking turns; • against a bot — three strength levels; • on two phones side by side — over Bluetooth, no internet needed. The app is free and fully offline: no ads, no purchases, no accounts, no data collection. A tutoring mode explains moves right at the table, match history can be replayed move by move, and the game protocol can be saved to a file. Seven interface languages. The full rules of the game are open and published — the link is inside the app. The game was created by Alexey Kiselyov and Olga Popova.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

You now pick the match target: 50, 100, 150 or 200 points. The results screen shows the game number and how long the game and the match took. The panel of the player to move stands out better. Bluetooth play is steadier: the connection recovers after a drop, and an opponent already in a match cannot be invited by mistake. Different settings are agreed before the start. Fixed: hints fit narrow screens, cancelling a move no longer draws from the boneyard, sound returns after the browser.
