Your record lives on your device — wins, losses, and gammons counted over time, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Nearby multiplayer connects two Android phones directly over Bluetooth — no online lobby, no matchmaking service, no internet. It's the MeshGames vision: games that connect people in the same place, off the grid.
