About this game

TRIAD is a two-player abstract board game played on a grid of triangular tiles. Place and rotate tiles to line up matching edges, build chains, and outscore your opponent. Play against a friend peer-to-peer — no accounts required.

Status: Early alpha. The core game is playable while rules, balance, and UI are still evolving.

The web build runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. Desktop builds aren't signed yet — your OS will warn the first time.

First-time install help (macOS / Windows / Linux)

macOS

Double-clicking the app after dragging it to Applications may show: “‘TRIAD’ can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” Two ways around it:

  1. Right-click → Open. In Applications, right-click (or Control-click) the app icon and choose Open. A new dialog appears with an Open button — click it. macOS remembers the choice.
  2. If right-click-Open doesn't work (newer macOS versions are stricter): go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway next to the blocked app.

Terminal shortcut: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TRIAD.app strips the quarantine flag.

Windows

Running the .exe shows a blue SmartScreen dialog: “Windows protected your PC”. The installer isn't signed with an Authenticode cert.

  1. Click More info at the top of the dialog.
  2. A Run anyway button appears below the message — click it.

Linux

AppImage just needs the executable bit:

  1. chmod +x TRIAD.AppImage
  2. ./TRIAD.AppImage

If you see a sandbox error on older distros, add --no-sandbox.

Which version should I use?
  • Desktop: Use the download matching your OS. The Mac build is universal for Apple Silicon and Intel.
  • Web: Best for a quick game on any modern browser, especially on a device you don't want to install software on.
  • iPhone / iPad / Android: Open the web version in Safari or Chrome, then add to your home screen for the best full-screen experience.
