About

Born in the 1970s USSR as a paper take on Go: a squared page, two colours of ink, a duel from the school desk. Take turns placing dots and surround your rival's dots with an unbroken chain of your own — captured dots leave the board and count as points. Whoever captures more wins. Simple rules, deep play, no luck — a simplified Go on a notebook grid. It goes by many names — Точки in Russia, Kropki in Poland, Židi in the Czech lands.

Ways to play

  • Solo vs AI — three honest difficulty levels, from a relaxed game to a real challenge
  • Duel on one phone — pass and play, taking turns on a single device
  • Duel on two phones — pair instantly by scanning a QR code and play over a direct Bluetooth / Wi-Fi connection, with no game server and no account
  • Three board sizes, from a quick small grid to a long strategic battle

Calm by design

  • No ads, ever
  • No accounts, no sign-in
  • Games play offline — there are no game servers, and two-phone matches connect directly
  • Only anonymous, aggregated analytics and crash reports are sent, to help us improve
  • Suitable for all ages

Everything is hand-drawn

  • No flashy menus or loud colours — just paper, blue ink, and wobbly pen lines
  • Dots pop, captures ripple, and a gentle sound marks every move
  • A board that feels made by hand

A nostalgic school-and-university classic, drawn the way it always should have been. Grab a friend, pick a colour, and start capturing.
