Meet the cast
DamaDojo's characters are realistic players, not mascots, and each one shows one idea in International draughts: forced captures, capture chains, the race to crown, the flying king, endgame timing, sacrifices, walls and traps. Master Adrelle sets a position and asks "what is the strongest move, and why?"
Selka
The forced capture — if a jump exists you must take one; the only choice is which
Doran
The capture chain — one jump can continue into several, counted as a single move
Marn
The promotion race — a man one row from home crowns into a flying king
Ivo
The flying king — long-range diagonal control that commands the whole board
Petra
Endgame tempo — whoever is forced to move first breaks; hold the waiting move
Halden
The two-way man — capturing backward as well as forward, so threats come from everywhere
Corin
The sacrifice — giving a man to force a chain or a promotion that wins it back with interest
Vessa
Structure — a locked wall of men that the opponent cannot break without losing more
Bram
The trap — offering a capture that lures the opponent into a losing forced sequence

How DamaDojo handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
DamaDojo runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
