Recess turns your phone into a whole shelf of board games you already know — and a table to play them on with a friend.

Open a table and share the code, or scan a QR square, and you're playing. No account, no sign-up. On the same Wi-Fi or with Bluetooth on, it works without the internet at all.

A growing library, two to a table:

• Rock Paper Scissors — Rock Paper Scissors, without arguing over who threw late.
• Tic-Tac-Toe — Three in a row. That rematch button is hard to resist!
• Chess — Play by the full rules with a friend or the robot. Add a clock if you like.
• Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) — Play Xiangqi, river and palace included, against a friend or the robot.
• Battleship — Hide five ships, call coordinates, and sink the fleet.
• Plane Battle — Hide your planes, call coordinates, and find the heads.
• Five in a Row — Get five in a row. Make the board bigger when you both agree.
• Sudoku — Fill the grid with 1 to 9. Play alone, race a friend, or solve one grid together.
• Number Hunt — Both phones show the same scattered numbers. Tap 1, then 2, then 3 — whoever taps first gets the number.
• Number Match — Cross out pairs that match or add up to ten. Copy the leftover numbers and keep going.
• Dominoes — Match the ends, draw when you can't play, and be first to go out.

And Dice for any game at the table: standard, fish-prawn-crab, or d4 to d20, with every phone seeing the same roll.

Every game plays against a friend or against the built-in robot, so it's just as good solo. No ads, no accounts, and no tracking across other apps.
