Lioza: Strategy Board Game

Two modes — play the Classic with a pre-defined board or Free Hand that gives you a blank canvas to lay your stones

Lioza is a calm, stone-drafting strategy board game. Draft stones, build your wall, and outwit your rival — every stone you take is one they can't have.

Easy to learn, hard to put down: your first round teaches you the game, and getting good is the fun part. A match runs about ten minutes.

• Free, ad-free, no pay-to-win — the whole game, free • Two modes — play the Classic with a pre-defined board or Free Hand that gives you a blank canvas to lay your stones • The honest bot — three strengths: Apprentice, Master, Grandmaster. It never peeks at hidden information and never gets a lucky "algorithm." It plays by the same rules you do. Beat it, and you earned it • Play your way — solo vs the bot, Quick Match against a stranger, a private lobby with up to four friends, or pass & play on a single phone • Works offline — the bot and pass & play need no connection • No account to start — sign up only when you want to play online

Rooted in calçada, the hand-laid black-and-white stone pavement of Lisbon: pale pedra lioz set against dark basalt into waves you can walk across. Five mineral stones, laid one at a time, into something worth keeping.

And learn from Master Lio — the old calçada stone-mason who's the face of the honest bot.

Free. Ad-free. No pay-to-win. Ever.
