Opening in October · Chess and Rubamazzo first, then a few more games at a time. See the opening line-up.
The October opening · five apps, nineteen games
The catalogue opens with Chess and Rubamazzo, and Briscola, WordFront and Checkers follow close behind. Those five apps hold nineteen complete games, because every variant is a game in its own right, with its own rules, its own tables, its own guide and its own achievements. Calm local play, private on-device intelligence, no ads, no dark patterns. Fifteen apps more follow, a few at a time, for fifty-nine games in all.
Mind Sports
Practise with AI. Play with people. Explore the sporting idea behind our games, with room to think and your own ambition to follow.
One family, three ideas
A platform, a philosophy and an optional in-game economy — each with its own name and mark, all built to keep play calm and private.
The shared platform behind every game: local-first play and private on-device intelligence.
Our operating philosophy: no ads, no dark patterns, no attention traps — thought without pressure.
Game points for Arena and tournaments: the entry pays for the online game, and winning earns a reward. Not money, never cashed out.
The opening line-up
Two board classics, two Italian card games and an original word-territory contest — and inside them, nineteen genuinely different games. Chess and Rubamazzo arrive first, and the other three follow shortly after. The mix is deliberate: aiOrion is a platform, not a reskin.
Expected October
Abstract strategy · 2
Five chess games for one price: classic chess, Fischer Random, Crazyhouse, Wild Armies and the original Four Towers study — each asks for a different way of thinking. A bundled Core ML model ranks only moves the rules engine has already validated.
5 games in one — each a complete game of its own.
Expected October
Capture · 2–4
Three games in one free app: classic Rubamazzo, the 52-card game that also captures by sum, and the house form where sweeping the table scores. Every captured pile can become somebody else's prize. The complete local game is free and ad-free; when you want to play people online, Arena and tournaments are there too.
3 games in one — each a complete game of its own.
Expected October
Trick-taking · 2–4 in curated formats
The beloved Italian trick-taking game, recreated for calm local play with intelligent on-device opponents and authentic partnership and match formats.
Expected October
Word territory · 2, 4 or 8
Front · The AI is your opponent
Six games built on one original idea: every word you play changes the map. Race from your home edge, collide with rival words, wall a citadel, eliminate a rival outright — or drop the language entirely and play it as pure shape.
6 games in one — each a complete game of its own.
Expected October
Draughts · 2
Four national games of draughts, each played by its own rules: Brazilian (International rules on an 8×8 board), American/English, the 10×10 International game, and Dama Italiana with its capture-priority ladder and untouchable kings.
4 games in one — each a complete game of its own.
What one purchase buys
Chess960 is not chess. Scopone is not Scopa. Ciapanò is not Tresette — you win it by taking the fewest tricks. They are different games, with different openings, different tactics and different players who swear by them.
Most catalogues sell you those separately. We put them in the app that already knows the deck, and every one arrives complete: its own rules and legal-move checking, its own tables and templates, its own illustrated guide, its own daily challenge and its own achievements — and a taught first game that walks you in. Nothing is a skin, and nothing is an add-on.
So the twenty apps hold fifty-nine games — and the five that open the catalogue already hold nineteen. Buy Chess once and five games are yours. Buy WordFront once and six are. There is no second purchase, ever, and no expansion pack waiting behind it.
The aiOrion promise
The shared platform brings sophisticated tools to every game without turning any of them into a noisy service.
Rules, legal-move validation and local opponents live on your device. The table remains playable when the server is not.
On-device models support opponents, coaching and conversation where the game and language make them available.
No loot boxes, forced streaks, infinite feeds or manipulative reminders. Progress is recognition, not pressure.
Scopone is not Scopa and Chess960 is not chess — they are separate games, and they are already yours. One price, the whole family, no add-ons ever.
Release roadmap
Months are approximate. The catalogue opens a few apps at a time, mixing kinds on purpose, and each release waits until the one before it has settled in. Quality gates can move the calendar.
Two very different apps open the catalogue: a board classic and a free family card game. Between them they show the whole idea.
A trick-taking classic, an original word-territory contest and the draughts family arrive together.
Italian fishing and capture, the great game of territory, and a melding game where you rebuild the whole table.
Partnership tricks, partnership melding and a card game about the scientific method.
Ladders, sets and sequences, then partnership bidding — always with no real-money wagering or cash-out.
Your Game Coins without opening a game: the same balance, coin packs and history every aiOrion game carries, as an app of its own. Game points for the online tables — never money.
A separate launch moment for the calm, modern strategy game. It ships only when conversational command clears its quality bar.
Three games played with table chips arrive after the first catalogue, with a release date still to be announced. Table chips are for play only: no real-money wagering and no cash-out.
Apple OS 27
Every game opens on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and every game is ready for the foldable iPhone Duo: unfolded, the table takes one half and your coach (local play) or your private seat (Arena) takes the other. Chess, Checkers, Go, Machiavelli and WordFront open on Apple Vision Pro too; the other games add it later as an update. App Store universal-purchase availability follows each listing's final configuration.
