## Description

Pentaduo is a strategy board game in walnut and brass, built for players who like to think a few moves ahead. Play a card, claim its space on the ten-by-ten board, and race to build five in a row. First to two pentaduos takes the game; first to clear the match takes the table. Inspired by the classic chip-and-card games of the parlor era, reimagined as a calm, native iOS experience.

No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. The whole game, on day one.

PLAY A FAIR, HONEST OPPONENT
• Four difficulty tiers — Novice, Apprentice, Adept, and Expert — so the game grows with you.
• Expert runs a real alpha-beta search and plays an honest game. It never peeks at your hand and never cheats.
• Two full decks, eight jacks, four wild corners — the complete ruleset, faithfully rendered: two-eyed jacks place anywhere, one-eyed jacks lift an opponent's chip.

LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE
• A guided tutorial walks you to your first win, with highlighted cards and tap-by-tap coaching.
• Coach Mode tints every legal placement green, winning moves gold, opponent threats red, and quietly pulses the Expert's recommendation in brass.
• Ask for a Hint any time — see what the Expert would play, with optional reasoning for why.

SEE HOW YOU PLAYED
• After every game, a chess-style review grades your play: an accuracy score, a letter grade, and your best and worst moments.
• Step through the game move by move. Each pivotal move is explained in plain language on a clear mini-board, so you actually learn from it.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY
• Daily Challenge — every player worldwide gets the exact same deal each day. Pick your difficulty; the harder the tier, the more your score is worth.
• Global Game Center leaderboards for today, the last three days, this week, and all time.
• Build a daily streak and keep it alive.
• Weekly and custom shareable challenges — generate a code, send "beat my deal" to a friend, and play the very same shuffle.
• Themed daily twists keep the table fresh.

TWENTY HAND-BUILT PUZZLES
• Three tiers — Learn the basics, sharpen your Tactics, then try to Beat the Expert from a crafted position.
• Each solo puzzle has a single best idea and a known, verified solution.

MATCH SCORING WORTH PLAYING
• Penta-N scoring wraps games into a points race — choose a single game, a best-of-three, or a full eight-game tournament.
• Sweep your opponent for bonus points.

PLAY WITH OTHERS
• Local multiplayer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — no internet required.
• Online multiplayer through Game Center.
• Spectator Display — turn an iPad (or an AirPlay'd TV) into a shared parlor board while two phones play their hands across the table.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• A rich Stats screen with match history, win streaks, personal records, and a shareable summary card.
• 38 Game Center achievements to chase.
• iCloud sync across your devices — start a match on iPhone, finish it on iPad. In-progress games and full history come along.

BUILT TO BE USED BY EVERYONE
• Full VoiceOver support — every board cell and card is individually navigable and clearly described.
• Honors Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type.
• An Enhanced text mode renders rank and suit at full cell size for reading at a glance.
• Haptics on every placement and a satisfying flourish when you complete a pentaduo.

Designed and built by one person, with care. Feedback is genuinely welcome — every note gets a look.
