Dhadi

Heritage meets strategy. Form Dhadi — three in a row. Capture pieces. Outmanoeuvre your opponent. The 3,000-year-old Indian strategy game — online, vs AI, or pass & play.

Dhadi is a free-to-play digital adaptation of one of the oldest strategy games in the world. Known across India, Egypt, and Rome for over 3,000 years, Dhadi challenges two players to outthink, outplace, and outmanoeuvre each other on a classic three-square board.

How to Play

Place your 9 pieces on the board, form Dhadi — three in a row — and capture your opponent's pieces. Once all pieces are placed, slide them along the lines to form new Dhadi and keep capturing. Reduce your opponent to fewer than 3 pieces, or leave them with no legal move, to win.
