About Recess: Board Games
Recess turns your phone into a shelf of brain games and party favourites you already know, to play with friends nearby or far away, or against the robot when you're on your own. Open a table and send the code, let a friend scan the QR code, or find a table nearby on the same Wi-Fi or over Bluetooth, and you're playing. Nearby needs no internet at all. No account. No sign-up. Familiar games, including: • Chess: Full rules, an optional clock, with a friend or the robot. • Chinese Chess (Xiangqi): River and palace included, with a friend or the robot. • Go: Black and white stones, a few simple rules, and a game you can play for life. • Mandarin Squares (Ô ăn quan): The Vietnamese schoolyard game of sowing stones and taking mandarins. • Sea Battle: Hide your fleet, call coordinates and sink theirs. • Plane Battle: Hide your planes and find the heads of theirs. • Five in a Row: First to line up five wins. • Tic-Tac-Toe: Quick, simple, and always "one more round". • Sudoku: Solve alone, race a friend, or solve one grid together. • Number Hunt: Find 1, 2, 3… faster than your friend. • Number Pairs: Match two equal numbers or two that add up to 10. • Dominoes: Match the ends and be first to play your last tile. Made for playing together Share one code and you're in. Chat while you play, switch games any time, or play the robot when no one is around. The library keeps growing. No accounts. No tracking across other apps. Open Recess and play.

What’s new
Version 1.3.1 · Updated October 18, 2026
• Play together here is resting for now while we make it better. To play with a friend, open a table or join one, or play against the robot. • If a game runs into a problem in the middle of a round, it now tries to pick up where you left off. • If something goes wrong, you can send us a report straight from the game or the Connection sheet. You see everything in it before it's sent.
