One iPad. Two players.

Your opponent is right across the table.

Place the iPad between you, or sit side by side. The camera, displays and dice trays adapt to your seating. One shared table, not two separate screens.

Your opponent is ready.

Strong play. No connection needed.

The AI calculates its moves on your iPad. Playing needs neither internet nor an account. Choose the challenge that feels right for you.

  1. Relaxed

    Settle in and explore.

  2. Club

    Your next challenge.

  3. Master · Premium

    The most demanding Kanso level.

These levels describe difficulty within Kanso, not independently certified playing strength.

Kanso Focus · Premium

See beyond the next move.

Which path protects your checkers? Which leaves an opening? Focus compares complete move sequences and explains their consequences. Understand your options instead of simply following a marker. The decision stays yours.

Displayed chances are AI estimates, not a promise of winning. The tutorial and basic move assistance are included in Free.

Fair play you can follow.

The same dice. For both sides.

The AI cannot see the next roll and never receives better dice. A roll log lets you check the sequence after the match. No ads or consumable purchases: the game stays centre stage.
