Games against the computer
An opponent that is always available, plays at your level and helps you improve.
Every Ludo Genie game has its own custom-built artificial opponent: a chess engine that searches deep, a go AI, card players that count tricks, a pool player that plans its angles.
Five levels are offered. Beginner plays fast and makes mistakes, ideal for learning. Amateur knows the basics. Intermediate demands your full attention. Expert is a club-level opponent. Master gives everything it has. You can ask for a hint or undo a move when the game allows it.
Playing against the computer is the best way to discover a game, review an opening or simply enjoy ten good minutes.
