Build a kingdom, one tile at a time.

Yes. Realmstead is free to play in your web browser, with no ads and no in-game purchases. There's nothing to buy and nothing to install.

Two to five. On one phone, any seat can be a computer player, so one person can play against one to four bots. Online, two to five people each play on their own phone.

Yes. Choose Pass & Play, add two to five players and pass the phone round the table. The game saves after every turn, so you can stop and pick it up later with Continue game.

Try Realmstead, a free tile-laying game where everyone builds the same map. A turn is simple: draw a tile, place it, maybe put down a follower. The game shows only the spots that fit and adds up every score, while the strategy grows with the player: where to claim, when to share a city, when to block one. A game takes about 15 minutes against a bot, or 30 to 40 with a table of people.

Yes. Choose Play Online, make a game and share its five-letter code or invite link; everyone joins in their own browser. Your online games stay on the title screen with whose turn it is, so a game can run over days. To put the board on a TV as well, open Table View there and type the same code.

Realmstead has no ads, no purchases and no chat. Online games are private: only people with the game's code or link can join, and the host can remove anyone before the start. The only words other players see are the names people type, up to 16 letters. In Pass & Play, the game stays on your device unless you add a table screen.

No. Realmstead plays in the web browser on a phone, tablet or computer: open play.qubesoftware.com/realmstead and tap Pass & Play. Online play asks only for a name to show the others. The game is in English.

About 15 minutes for one person against a bot, and 30 to 40 minutes with a table of people. Every game uses the same 71 tiles, so the time is mostly how long each person takes over a turn.

We suggest 8 and up. A tile only goes where it fits, the game adds up every score, and the words are short button labels, so younger children can join in with a grown-up beside them.

On your turn, draw a tile and place it next to the others so every touching edge matches: road to road, city to city, field to field. You may then put one of your seven followers on a road, city, abbey or field on that tile. A finished feature scores at once (a road 1 a tile, a city 2 a tile and 2 a banner, an abbey 9 when surrounded), and its followers come home. When the last tile is down, unfinished features and farms score too, and the biggest total wins.
