FAQ

What board games can you play against the computer online?
Chinese chess, five-in-a-row, disc flipping and ludo, plus territory games on a grid. All of them are turn-based and won by calculation, and all of them take about a minute to learn.
How hard is the computer opponent in board games?
Difficulty maps directly to how many moves ahead it looks. The low setting only answers the position in front of it; the high setting reads your reply and plans around it. Drop the level to drill openings across a lot of quick games, raise it when you want the pressure back.
Can you take back a move when playing the computer?
Yes, takebacks and a full move-by-move replay are both there. The reason to play a machine is to find out which move lost the game, so there is no point attaching a penalty to looking.
How do you get better at five in a row?
Build two open threats at once — a single one is always blockable. Watch for shapes that create a four and a three on the same move, and count your opponent's threats before you extend your own. Defence first at high difficulty; the computer will punish a greedy row.
