## Description

Ancient Games is an all-in-one Chrome app that brings four classic titles—Royal Game of Ur, Senet, XII Scripta, and Puluc—together in a single, portable package. Play offline or online, challenge AI, friends, and global players (coming soon), and enjoy cloud-saved progress across the collection. It features multiplayer-ready content, multiple collectibles (boards, game pieces, dice, nameplates), and multilingual support (English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Turkish).

Currently four games are available, with about 40 more on the roadmap. Each new game will be added to the Ancient Games app and may receive its own standalone app. To save disk space, you can uninstall older single-game apps in favor of this all-in-one version. The privacy policy has been updated to reflect current data protection laws. Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/QYtOXwJi/ancient-games-roadmap

Overall, players praise Ancient Games for fun, its educational angle, and a broad, visually appealing collection of ancient games with simple, family-friendly play. Recurrent drawbacks include intrusive ads with unreliable removal, frequent bugs and crashes, concerns about unfair RNG and incorrect rules in some titles, and a desire for better online multiplayer features (friends lists, matchmaking, and two-player play). Updates are welcomed and the library is appreciated, but performance and rule accuracy remain common concerns.

- Frequent bugs, glitches, freezes, and performance issues.
- Perceived unfair RNG/dice randomness and occasionally rigged outcomes.
- Rules inaccuracies in some titles reported by players.
- Online multiplayer limitations (no dedicated friends list/matchmaking; calls for two-player play).
