Elo rating, game history, streak statistics and a rating curve. Guest sign-in needs no email or password.
The rules in four lines
- 18 holes: nine yours and nine your opponent’s, nine stones in each.
- Collect 82 stones in your kazan to win. 81:81 is a draw.
- Your last stone makes an opponent’s hole even — the whole hole is yours.
- Make it exactly three stones and the hole becomes your tuzdyk for the rest of the game.
Playing in the browser
For now games run in the mobile app. A browser version is in progress: the bot and the tutorial first, online games after that.
