About this app
Fanorona is Madagascar's national board game — a checkers-like strategy game with a capture mechanic all its own: "approach and withdrawal" captures that reward reading the whole board, not just the next jump. HOW IT'S DIFFERENT Move toward an enemy piece to trap it, or move away to spring a trap from behind — either way, every piece caught in an unbroken line is captured, sometimes in long chains across the board. Captures are mandatory whenever one is available, so every position has real tension. PLAY YOUR WAY - Three AI difficulty levels, from a casual opponent to a real challenge - Local two-player pass-and-play on the same device - A full walkthrough built in, plus a How to Play button whenever you need a refresher - No ads, no gambling, no chip economy Simple to learn in minutes, deep enough to study for years — the way it's been played in Madagascar for centuries.
