How it plays
The server is the referee: it owns the dice and the rules, but never plays for you. Every match runs live, with the board updating for both players the instant a checker moves.
Watch your opponent’s checkers move as it happens. The board updates instantly for both sides, so it feels like sitting across the table.
The server rolls every die, never the client, and logs each roll with its seed. The dice are verifiable, so no one has to take fairness on faith.
Play a casual one-on-one match or join a bracket: single and double elimination, round robin, and Swiss. A tournament match just spins up a live game.
An open seat means you play; a full table means you watch. Themed rooms each set their own time-per-move, from relaxed to a 30-second racing clock.
