Practice against a computer on this site

Our free browser tool is a 10-piece learning adaptation. You play red against a simple computer opponent. It uses the Duel roster, straight-line Scout movement, Miner-versus-Bomb combat and the Spy's attacking exception against the Marshal.

No account, installation or payment is needed for this local tool. Your match runs in your browser and is not saved. Revealed ranks stay visible. The bot evaluates public information; it is intended for introductory practice rather than competitive strength.

The smaller roster, randomized setup, visible revealed ranks and 300-move limit are stated beside the board. Tournament chase and two-square rules are not enforced. This is separate from the official product.

We do not promise that every mode is free, that no sign-in is needed, or that a particular online mode will be available in every region. Check the current product screen before committing to an account or purchase.

Can you play on a phone or download an app?

This site's practice board and guides adapt to a small touchscreen. Select a piece and then its destination; no dragging is required. JavaScript is needed for the practice game, but the written guides remain readable without it.

For official mobile apps, follow the current links and product information from the official service and verify the publisher in your device's app store. We do not distribute APKs, installers or unofficial game downloads. Device support, offline support and purchases depend on the specific app listing.

If a game will not load

  • For our practice board, enable JavaScript and reload once. Reloading resets the current practice match.
  • For the official game, open its own tab instead of expecting it to run inside this guide.
  • Check your connection and browser update status before changing other settings.
  • If the official service reports an outage or access restriction, follow its support instructions.

Learn the rules while the service is unavailable, or use the battle lab to compare pieces.
