Lormark Board Games

Six classic board and tile games in one small, fast app — and every one of them works completely offline.

No account. No sign-up. No timer nagging you to come back tomorrow. Open it on a plane, on the Tube, or anywhere with no signal, and play.

SUDOKU
Clean, uncluttered Sudoku with the tools serious solvers actually want. Pencil in candidate notes yourself, or auto-fill every legal candidate and erase as you deduce. Conflicts are highlighted the moment they happen. Your best time for each difficulty is kept, and an unfinished grid is waiting exactly as you left it.

Difficulty is graded by the hardest technique a puzzle needs, not by counting clues — so Hard is genuinely hard, not just sparse. Easy solves with singles. Medium needs locked candidates. Hard needs pairs and triples. Every puzzle is checked during generation to have exactly one solution.

REVERSI (OTHELLO)
Flank your opponent's discs to flip them, fight for the corners, and hold the majority when the last square fills. Legal moves are highlighted, discs flip with a proper animation, and you can undo.

The computer searches one move ahead on Easy, three on Medium and five on Hard — and on Hard, once ten squares remain it stops estimating and solves the endgame exactly. From there it plays perfectly.

DRAUGHTS (CHECKERS)
English draughts on an 8x8 board. Multi-jump chains are animated a hop at a time so you can see what happened. Kings move and capture in all four directions.

Easy looks two moves ahead, Medium four, Hard seven. Easy and Medium also make natural-looking mistakes on purpose, rather than playing weakly at random. At every level the computer keeps searching while captures are on the board, so it never miscounts halfway through an exchange.

BACKGAMMON
Full rules: the bar, bearing off, doubles, gammons and backgammons, and the rule that you must use as many dice as you can. Tap a checker, tap where it goes — combined moves using both dice happen in one tap. Match points build up across games.

Dice make deep search pointless, so the levels change how the computer thinks instead. Easy just races. Medium avoids leaving blots. Hard works out the real chance of each blot being hit from all 36 rolls, holds anchors and builds primes.

MANOR MYSTERY
A murder in a country house, five computer suspects and one you play. Move between the nine rooms, suggest a suspect and a weapon, and read what the others can and cannot disprove until one answer is left. The notepad ticks off what you have been shown and lets you pencil in your own deductions.

The levels change how well the computer reasons, not how deep it searches. Easy barely deduces at all. Medium rules a card out every time a player passes, and only suggests cards that could still be in the envelope. Expert remembers that a player who disproved is holding one of several cards, and comes back to settle it later.

TILE RUMMY
106 numbered tiles, two jokers, and a table you are free to take apart. Lay down groups and runs, make your 30-point opening meld, then rearrange everything already down to squeeze out one more tile. Choose the shared opening rule, or the strict one where each player needs their own 30.

Easy plays the first set it finds. Medium lays down every new set it can, then lays off onto what is already there. Expert repeats that loop — laying one tile off often frees a set that was impossible a moment ago, and only Expert keeps looking.
