Tessera: Settle & Build

Tessera is a fast, friendly game of building a frontier one hexagon at a time. Gather resources, trade shrewdly, build roads and settlements, and race your friends to victory — all on a beautifully rendered, freshly shuffled hex board every game.

PLAY ANYWHERE — NO INTERNET
Tessera connects players phone-to-phone over local Wi-Fi, a personal hotspot, or direct nearby connections. No accounts, no servers, no signal required — perfect for road trips, flights, and the kitchen table.

EASY TO LEARN, RICH TO MASTER
• Roll the dice each turn and harvest the resources your settlements touch
• Trade with rivals — or the bank — to get exactly what you need
• Build roads, settlements, and cities; buy development cards
• Claim the Longest Road and Largest Army for bonus points
• Move the robber to slow down a runaway leader
• First to 10 points wins

NEW: CITIES & KNIGHTS MODE
A full expansion-style variant for veterans, selectable when you create any game:
• Cities produce commodities — cloth, coin, and paper
• Develop trade, politics, and science; claim metropolises for big points
• Recruit, activate, and promote knights to defend the island
• Barbarians raid the coast — the least-defended players lose a city
• 54 progress cards, city walls, the merchant, and a race to 13 points

SMART BOTS, ANY TIME
Play solo or fill empty seats with bots at three difficulty levels. If a friend drops out mid-game, a difficulty-matched bot takes over instantly — and hands the seat right back the moment they reconnect.

BUILT FOR REAL TABLES
• Intelligently balanced random boards — no runaway number clusters
• Adjustable turn, roll, robber, discard, and opening-placement timers
• Friendly-robber option to protect newer players
• End-of-game stats with a dice-roll histogram
• Smooth card animations and always-clear turn prompts

Tessera is a love letter to classic hex-and-resource tabletop strategy, reimagined for your pocket. Gather your friends and start building.
