A polished Lau Kata Kati hunt game with forced jumps, synced state, and a Three.js board.
About this tile
Lau Kata Kati is a traditional two-player hunt game from India, played on a 19-point board shaped like two triangles joined at the center. Each side starts with nine pieces, leaving only the center point open.
This Poe app implements the short-leap rules: move one point along a marked line when no capture is available, jump over an adjacent enemy into the vacant point beyond to capture, and keep jumping with the same piece when another capture is available. A player wins by removing every opposing piece or by leaving the opponent without a legal move.
The app uses synced-store for shared authoritative game state, a real Three.js board renderer with transparent touch targets, haptic feedback where available, a compact help overlay, and a drill mode for practicing the forced capture flow.
