YellowGames

Three games about the same problem: you can see where something is, and not what it is. Two are board games for two players — one played for years, one just arrived. The third is a daily logic puzzle, and it is on its way.

The games

Three of them, and they are related

Two are turn-based board games for two players; the third is a puzzle for one. In all three, the hardest thing on the board is the piece you cannot identify.

Heroic Battle

Play a challenging strategy board game against a friend or computer opponent.

  • Easy to learn, and then a game of logic, deception and memory
  • Online multiplayer, casual or ranked — or pass-and-play on one device
  • A computer opponent built on Probe, a three-time Computer Stratego World Champion
  • Preset or fully custom board setups, and games you can pause and finish later

A bronze Roman commander’s medallion against a dark, misted wood

Out now

Silva Obscura

Rome and the Horde meet across a fog-choked wood. No dice, no variance — and no piece tells you what it is until it fights.

  • Deterministic combat: every fight is arithmetic you can do before you commit
  • Two armies that play differently — Rome holds a line, the Horde strikes out of cover
  • Cards, coin and buried ground: traps, walls, decoys and intel
  • Against the AI, a friend by room code, or a stranger in a rated queue

The name Stallwise beside four tiles: a loaf, a fish, a hammer and a pair of scissors

Stallwise

A daily logic puzzle. Work out who sells what in a small market — every stallholder offers two clues, and you keep one.

  • Choose your clues before you know which of them you will need
  • Never a guess: an answer counts only when your clues prove it
  • A daily puzzle on a 3×3 board and a larger one on 4×4, the same for everyone
  • Endless play through 800 graded puzzles, and a result you can share without spoiling

What connects them

Hidden information, played straight

None of these games hides anything behind a dice roll. What they hide is identity. In the two board games you know a piece is there, and you find out what it is by attacking it, scouting it, or guessing wrong; everything else is on the table for both players to read. In Stallwise you know a stallholder is there, and you find out what they sell by proving it.

That makes them games you lose to a better read rather than to bad luck, and it is the reason a match — or a market — is worth thinking about between turns.
