Yes. All four games, offline AI and local Wi-Fi play are free forever. Optional coin packs and cosmetic table skins are the only paid extras, and they never affect gameplay outcomes.
No. One player turns on their hotspot, everyone else joins the lobby, and the match runs entirely over the local network — no data is consumed by anyone at the table.
Android 8.0 and above, including tablets. The build is under 40 MB and tuned to run smoothly on entry-level devices. An iOS version is in the works — no date to share yet.
Every game ships with house-rule toggles — Whot pick-two stacking, Ludo six-to-start, Ayo capture variants and more — so you can set the table exactly the way your family plays it.
Shuffles and dice rolls are generated server-side and independently verifiable after each match. Fair Play Guard flags collusion patterns and repeat offenders lose their ranking.
