CrownDraught

CrownDraught is a draughts and checkers app for one player and an engine that runs entirely on your phone. No ads, no network, no account, and nothing to buy: every part of the app is open from the first launch. TWO RULE SETS, BOTH IN FULL International draughts on a 10x10 board with 20 pieces a side, and English checkers on 8x8 with 12. In international rules a man captures in all four diagonals, a king flies any distance along a diagonal, and only the longest chain may be played. In English rules a man captures forward only, a king steps one square, and any capture you like is legal. Capture is mandatory in both: when a capture exists, a quiet move is not offered at all. SIX LEVELS, ALL OPEN Beginner, Casual, Club, Strong, Expert and Master. Each level searches deeper and takes longer over a move. The two easiest levels make real mistakes on purpose, so a first win is a real win. The engine thinks in short slices, so the board stays responsive while it works. CHAINS YOU CAN SEE When two chains end on the same square, the app lists them both in full notation with the number of pieces each one takes, and you choose. Jumps are animated step by step, so a long chain is something you watch, not something that happens at once. THE MOVE LIST Every finished game is kept, the last 20 of them, and can be rewound half-move by half-move on the board. The archive is open from the first launch. YOUR GAME IS SAVED Leave in the middle of a game and come back to the same half-move, with the rule set, the move list and the clock exactly where you left them. STATISTICS, PER RULE SET Games played, won, drawn and lost, kept for each level and each rule set separately. Win rate, win streaks, average game length, captures per game, the longest chain you ever played, how often you crowned first, wins where you did not lose a single piece, and how your games actually ended. MADE FOR ONE HAND Tap a piece to see where its chains end, then tap the square. Pieces that are obliged to capture are outlined. Ask for confirmation before a move lands, turn the jump animation off, and pick a light or dark theme. COINS ARE EARNED BY PLAYING Coins come from wins, wins without losing a piece, win streaks and your first game of the day. They pay for a hint, an undo, and for the extra board themes, piece sets and king frames. They cannot be bought: the app sells nothing and takes no payments. NOT A GAMBLING GAME There are no bets, no chips, no wheels and no prizes. Coins cannot be won by wagering, cannot be transferred to another player and cannot be exchanged for anything outside the app. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE The app has no network code at all. Nothing is collected, nothing is sent anywhere, no advertising identifier is read, and it asks for no permissions: no camera, no microphone, no location, no contacts, no notifications.
