Ivory rosette set in a gold and lapis square

Your place at the royal table

Play a modern reconstruction of one of the world’s oldest board games, with a lapis-and-ivory board, moving stones, original atmospheric music and subtle sound effects.

Four rivals. One shared table.

Meet the Scribe, Merchant, Guardian and Oracle: four offline opponents with different approaches. Or pass the iPad to a friend for a local two-player game.

Learn by playing

Seven guided lessons teach the route, captures, rosettes and exact rolls. Your practice stays separate from your real game.

Earn your treasures

Six achievements track your progress, with Obsidian, Jade and Royal Gold finishes to earn. Every completed game has a results screen with statistics and a rematch button.

Offline by design

No accounts, advertising, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Saves and achievements stay on your iPad. Music, effects and motion have separate controls, and the app respects Reduce Motion.

Requires iPadOS 17 or later. These are modern reconstructed rules; the exact ancient rules are not fully known.
