Apps · Damas BLA
Jump, capture, crown.
You move on the diagonal, capture in sequence and race to crown. With someone beside you or solo, against the machine. Good for a quick game on the bus or a whole afternoon.
what it is
The same checkers, with BLA's care.
The same game you learned as a child: pieces on the diagonal, capture in a chain, and the piece that reaches the far side becomes a king and starts to rule the board.
Ivory and charcoal pieces, a crown that changes the game when it arrives, a board made to make you want to touch it.
three boards
Brazilian, English, international.
The Brazilian on eight by eight, the English shorter and more direct, and the international on ten by ten, with more pieces and more room to think.
And when you play by a house rule of your own, you can adjust it before you start. The game is yours.
two ways to play
With someone beside you, or against the machine.
On the same iPhone, two players take turns, light piece and dark. Good for teaching, good for a rematch on the spot.
Solo, you play against the machine, at three levels. Start easy, climb when you want. It thinks on the device, all offline.
made to feel
Every move has its own touch.

- · The game is saved. Close it and come back whenever.
- · Undo, for when your hand slips.
- · Light and dark mode, in step with your iPhone.
- · Forced capture, and the rule tweaks in your hands.
- · Works offline, no sign-up, no ads, no data collection.
why it exists
A board game, treated as a work.
Checkers crossed centuries in a wooden box, on a chalkboard, on a market-stall board. BLA does not touch the rule, it touches the care: the typography, the light, the weight of each piece in your hand.
It is to play without rushing. A game before bed, a rematch with whoever is beside you. You, the board and the next move.
