Overview
Peekaboo Pairs is a sleek, modern take on the classic disc-flanking board duel. On an 8x8 grid you drop discs to trap your opponent's pieces between two of yours, flipping every disc in the line to your color. Legal moves are highlighted every turn and a live counter tracks both sides, so you always see the tide of the battle shift. Face a genuinely competent AI across three levels: Easy plays a corner-aware greedy game, while Normal and Hard run an alpha-beta search that hunts for corners, guards edges, and solves the endgame. Prefer a friend? Switch to smooth pass-and-play for two players on one device. Silky flip animations, a persistent win-loss record versus the AI, and instant restarts make it endlessly replayable. Plays free in your browser with no download, on both mobile and desktop.
How to play
Goal: own more discs than your opponent when the board fills or neither side can move. Desktop: click any highlighted square to place a disc and flip the flanked line. Mobile: tap a highlighted square. Choose Vs AI (Easy, Normal, or Hard) or 2P Local, then hit New to start. Tips: 1) Corners can never be flipped, so grabbing one is worth more than many discs elsewhere. 2) Avoid the squares diagonally next to an empty corner early, as they hand your opponent the corner. 3) Fewer discs mid-game is often better, keeping your moves flexible while the opponent runs out of safe plays before the endgame flips swing your way.
