Games that check their own moves.

Three games you can play right now: a dungeon crawl, a board game, and a game of hidden influence. When you take a turn, the game re-runs it against the rules before it records anything, so an illegal move is refused instead of accepted, and when a game is over anyone can replay it move by move and see it really went that way.

1

Take a turn

Pick a game and make a move, the way you would anywhere else. No account, no wallet, no client-side JavaScript required.

2

The game checks it

Your move is re-run against the rules before anything is written down. A move that is not allowed is refused and leaves no trace. The page cannot talk the game into it.

3

Anyone can re-check

A finished game replays from its first move to its last. On the daily board, a run that does not replay shows FAIL and never ranks.

The Descent

Play alone · a new dungeon every day

A dungeon crawl. Everyone gets the same dungeon each day, drawn from a public random number nobody can pick in advance. One life, no retries: go deeper for better loot, and you only keep what you carry back out.

Automatafl

Needs a 2nd player · or hold both seats yourself

A two-player board game. You both choose in secret, then both moves are revealed at once and a neutral piece reacts to them, so you are guessing at your opponent, not waiting on them.

Multiway-Tug

Needs a 2nd player · or hold both seats yourself

A two-player game of hidden influence over seven guilds. You play cards face down; the pull only becomes public once both sides commit.
