About
O An Quan is the classic Vietnamese mancala game, played for generations on village courtyards and brick yards. Now you can play it on iPhone and iPad, with authentic rules, beautiful boards and AI opponents for every level.
TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Play the AI: 6 levels named after the old imperial exam titles, from Bachelor to First Laureate. Beginners and experts both find a fair match. • Two players: play together on one device.
AUTHENTIC, CLEAR RULES • 10 small squares and 2 mandarin squares, 5 stones in each small square. • Sow, keep sowing, capture, chain captures: every step is explained on screen. • The game ends when both mandarin squares are empty, mandarin and stones alike. • Pick your local variant: a mandarin worth 10 or 5 stones, the "young mandarin" rule on or off, and what happens when your side runs out of stones. • No hidden rules: the rules of the current game are always one tap away.
BOARDS LIKE FOLK ART • 8 Vietnamese-inspired themes: Brick Yard, Lakeside Pavilion, Village Courtyard, Front Porch, Moonlit Night, Bát Tràng Ceramic, Đông Hồ Folk Paintings and Bamboo. • Pebbles big and small, smooth sowing animations and real pebble sounds. • Background music: the folk song "Trống cơm", rearranged for đàn bầu and đàn tranh.
DAILY REWARDS • Check in 7 days in a row to collect gems, with the biggest reward on day 7. • Earn gems for every game against the AI, plus a bonus when you win. • Spend gems to unlock new themes.
PLAY YOUR WAY • Works offline, no account, no sign-in. • Adjust sowing speed, skip animations, reduce motion. • Vietnamese and English. • Optimized for iPhone and iPad.
O An Quan is free with ads. Gems can be bought if you like; they only change how the game looks and never affect who wins.
