Playbreak: board games offline

Board games for the road, for the whole family and for a group of 2 to 6. iPhone and Android play at the same table. No internet, no ads, no sign-up.

Backgammon, durak, checkers, dominoes, sea battle and four more classics in one app. Pass one phone around the table, take a phone each over Bluetooth with no Wi-Fi and no network, or play the bot when nobody else is around.

🚆 On the road
On a train, on a plane, in the back of the car, at a cabin where the signal gives out. Every game works with no network, even in airplane mode — Bluetooth can be switched back on there. A match against the bot or on one phone survives closing the app, so you can pick it up at the next stop.

👨‍👩‍👧 With family and friends
Durak seats two to six players, dominoes up to four. On one phone, a hand-off screen hides your cards and your fleet before the phone changes hands. With a phone each, the host sees who is asking to join and lets them in by name — no codes, no shared Wi-Fi.

📱 iPhone and Android at one table
It doesn't matter who has which phone: iPhones and Android phones sit down at the same table over Bluetooth, and any of them can host. One app for everyone — no separate versions, nothing extra to install.

🤖 When there is nobody to play
The bot comes in easy, medium and hard. It sees exactly what a person in its seat would see; it never reads your hand.

🎲 Backgammon
Short and long backgammon in one board. Roll, race all fifteen checkers home and bear them off first. Backgammon is also known as nardy or tavla.

🃏 Durak
The Russian card classic. Throw-in and transfer rules, a 24, 36 or 52-card deck, a throw-in limit and a neighbours-only table. Whoever is left holding cards is the fool.

⚫ Russian checkers
Draughts on an 8×8 board. Captures are compulsory and go backwards as well as forwards, and a man that reaches the last row mid-capture carries on as a king. Giveaway checkers sits alongside it: run out of moves first and you win.

Dominoes
Block and draw dominoes for two, three or four players. Highest double opens, draw from the boneyard when you are stuck, a blocked board ends the round.

🚢 Sea battle
A 10×10 grid and a ten-ship fleet you place by hand or leave to chance. Ships never touch, not even at the corners. A hit earns another shot.

⚪ Reversi
Trap a line of your opponent's discs between two of yours and they all flip. Most discs on the board at the end wins.

⚫ Gomoku
A 15×15 board, black moves first, five stones in a row wins. Freestyle rules — no forbidden moves, no opening restrictions.

🔴 Four in a row
Seven columns, six rows, pieces drop straight down. Line up four across, up or diagonally before your opponent does.

❌ Tic-tac-toe
Three by three in under a minute — or a bigger grid when you want to think.

No ads, no account
There are no ads in the app at all. No account, no sign-in, nothing personal asked for — anonymous crash and usage reports are all that ever leaves the phone. Your stats for each game stay on the device.

What is free and what is not
Tic-tac-toe, sea battle, four in a row and gomoku are free forever. Backgammon, checkers, dominoes, durak and reversi each give you one full match to try, and a single purchase opens all five for good. No subscription, nothing else to buy.

Offline games for every trip
Board games for two on a plane, card games for three or four on a train, a family game a child can start alone. Travel games that need no setup and classics whose rules everyone already knows. Nine games, one download, no wifi needed.

Board games that need nothing but a phone on the table.
