What we don't have yet

Better you hear it from us.

  • No board editor. You can't draw your own board yet. Boards come from our city editions, and you can collect their looks.
  • Not on Google Play yet. There's no Android app to install today. Your phone's browser plays the whole game.
  • No iOS app. Nothing on the App Store. On an iPhone, you play in the browser.
  • One panel of our own. No third-party ads, but a small panel promotes our other apps on the home, results and Help pages and beside the lobby.
