Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An independent tabletop game studio developing Dohyō, a two-player abstract strategy game for Android.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

Dohyō is structured as a ruleset beneath interchangeable presentation layers: the page says each theme can be added as a data file rather than a rewrite, with a validator enforcing the boundary. Taflarium reports testing the rules through 4,000 games, including a 52.6% first-player win rate and no draws. Its reference engine and phone engine are also reported to match across 31,324 plies, while the chosen one-ply opponent beat MCTS 94 games to 6.
