Play The Duke Online — Free Local AI Opponent

This page is where you sit down and play The Duke against the AI. Command double-sided troop tiles whose movement profiles change after every maneuver, and levy uncertain reinforcements to capture the opposing Duke. Difficulty runs from a welcoming beginner level to a demanding expert setting, and you can ask for a master hint whenever you get stuck. Undo and review are available, and the whole game runs locally in your browser — no upload, no download, no account.

How You WinCapture the opposing Duke. Any maneuver that would leave your own Duke immediately capturable is illegal, and if your turn begins with neither a legal maneuver nor a legal levy, you lose.

Board
6 × 6 squares
Army
19 tiles per side
