Questions
Does it cost anything?
You can play as soon as you download it. Ads are shown, and ad removal, some boards and discs, the advisor and more are in-app purchases.
Can I play without knowing the rules?
Yes. Dots mark where you can place a disc, and the Guide walks you through flanking, flipping and why corners matter.
Can I play without a connection?
Solo Match and the Edo Journey work offline, because the AI thinks on your device. Versus, reviews and the advisor need a connection.
Do real historical figures appear?
Yes. Your opponents are real figures tied to famous places in Edo, alongside invented townspeople. The story is fiction, and these games never happened.
Can I talk to other players in Versus?
No. There is no chat and there are no preset messages; the only thing you exchange with an opponent is moves on the board.
