Vimanam by Dolga
In development
The traditional Tamil race game — thayakkattai — as a true-3D board: six coins a side, a circuit to race, a peak to climb, and a Bot waiting across the board.
Coming soon — in development now

The race game, in true 3D.
Race games on a phone are usually flat boards and flat pieces. Vimanam is a sculpted board you can orbit, tilt and zoom — Kalamkari fields, brass peacocks with fanned tails, coins with weight — while the old rules run underneath, kept whole: enter on a 1 or a 5, cut to earn the climb, and bring every coin home on an exact throw.

About
Two sides race six coins each around the board’s circuit, up the bridge to the peak and down the home column. Land on an enemy coin and it is cut — sent back to start — and until you have cut at least once, the final arm stays closed to you: that is the blood rule, and it makes every race a fight before it is a finish.
Play the Bot at three levels, or pass-and-play with a friend on one device — the camera swings to the side to move. Throw cowries the old way, or two dice; the dice are real, with true faces, and the number you see is the number you threw. Your game is saved as you leave it and resumed where it stopped.
Paid once. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.
