The legendary Somali strategy game Shax, reborn as a cinematic mobile experience. Outthink four levels of AI, challenge a friend, earn your place — entirely offline.
Shax has been played across the Horn of Africa for generations — scratched into the sand, pebbles for pieces, taught from elder to child. Shax preserves the rules, the vocabulary and the spirit, and wraps them in a modern, fair, deeply-tested game engine.
From gentle Ayaxley to Kormeere — a search engine that reads the board five moves deep. Harder foes pay up to 2× XP.
Every screen in Somali and English — with spoken commentary that calls your jare out loud.
XP, levels, coins, daily challenges, streaks, achievements — and a shop where victories buy board styles and stone sets.
Pass-and-play with a named rival — Shax keeps your lifetime head-to-head record.
Perfect on the bus, the plane, the miyi. No connection, no account, no ads — ever.
Zero required permissions. Your profile and progress never leave your phone — verified by security audit.
Take turns placing your 12 pebbles anywhere on the lines. Build toward three-in-a-row — the first jare earns the opening move of the next phase.
All 24 pebbles are down and the board is full. Each side removes one enemy pebble — those two empty points are what bring the board to life.
Slide along the lines. Every jare you form captures an enemy pebble — and re-forming the same line counts again. Reduce your rival to two and the family is yours.
Every victory pays coins. Spend them on board finishes and stone sets — sixteen combinations, all earned by play, never by payment.
The classic — the game as it is played on the ground: warm sand, engraved lines.
Cool coastal calm — teal lines over seafoam, for measured, patient play.
The prestige board — deep indigo under starlight, for those who've earned it.
