Tactego

Hide your army, read your opponent and strike for the Flag. Play the computer on three levels, pass the device to a friend, or take on players through Game Center.

Tactego is a two-player strategy board game of hidden ranks and bold bluffs. Each side deploys 40 pieces face down: a Marshal, a General, Colonels and on down to Scouts, plus a Spy, six Bombs and the Flag. Your opponent sees only the backs of your pieces until a battle reveals them. Capture the enemy Flag, or leave the other side without a move, to win.

HOW IT PLAYS • Move one piece one square at a time; Scouts dash along open lines. • Attack to reveal both ranks: the stronger piece wins, and equal ranks are both removed. • The Spy defeats the Marshal, but only when the Spy attacks. • Bombs destroy every attacker except a Miner.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Against the computer, on Easy, Medium or Hard. Hard weighs where your hidden pieces could be and searches deep. • Pass & Play: two players share one iPhone or iPad, with a cover between turns so nobody peeks. • Online with Game Center: turn-based matches against friends or other players, at your own pace.

BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Smooth animations for every move, battle and reveal, with sound and haptics. • Full VoiceOver support: every square, piece and move is described, with rotors and custom actions. • Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, dark mode and iPad layouts. • On iPhone Duo, play folded on the outer screen or open on the large inner screen; your game carries on when you fold or unfold. • Modern (10 high) or classic (1 high) rank numbering.

YOUR GAME, YOUR RULES • Choose the two-square limit, the chase rule, Scout ranged attacks and the turn limits. • Save up to 12 favorite setups (60 with Setup Library), or start from a preset. • How to Play explains every rule with animated mini-boards. • Thirteen Game Center achievements to earn.

Every mode, level and rule is free. Optional extras change how your army and board look, or let you save more setups; nothing you buy changes how a game plays. No ads, no tracking. Just you, your army and the Flag.
