OPPONENTS WITH PERSONALITY Digby, Bodge, Lord Grimalkin and Master Yuzu each have their own voice, moods and playing style, and a secret fifth character waits behind them. They keep your head-to-head record, sulk after a losing run, and react to every win, loss and comeback. It is not a difficulty slider; it is a rival worth beating. AN OPPONENT THAT ACTUALLY THINKS Chess, Checkers, Draughts, Reversi, Xiangqi, Oware and Nine Men's Morris run a real search that reads several moves ahead, and Chess plays from an opening book. Difficulty is thinking time, not a fixed depth. The free games include the Standard level, with no random slips, so you can judge it before you spend anything.

They arrive on the day with nothing to download, and each season hides a fifth character until you beat the fourth. Quiet, hand-drawn, full of character. Made by one person in Manchester. ## Rankings - #316,604 — Overall ## Similar extensions and apps - [Board Games チェッカー＆ドラフツ](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6763966787) - [Board Games - Classics](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1620763283) — 4.80 / 5 - [Pop Play - Ludo & Board Games](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6761046348) — 5.00 / 5 - [Fun Board Games](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6759995021) — 5.00 / 5 - [Board Game World](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1658534721) - [Board Games : No ADs](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6777996893) — 4.20 / 5 - [Board Games For All](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758039969) - [Pocket-Board](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6789075223) - [GameElf](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6756913547) - [Board Master - Offline Games](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6761546361) - [OsPlay](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758034030) - [Board & Pieces](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1629458139) — 4.80 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6768061103)
