Compatibility references
Optional ways to connect Cynus
These ManyaSpace-referenced or publisher-listed tools are separate from the official app. Availability, setup, accounts, updates, and support remain with each publisher.
Remote real-board play
Keep the game on a physical board across the distance.
Cynus can connect through source-referenced third-party tools for online human play. This is not a direct board-to-board connection: each player joins through a supported service and compatible setup.
- 1
Prepare the boards. Each player uses a physical electronic board supported by the selected service.
- 2
Connect separately. Each player pairs their board through a supported tool and signs in to the required online account.
- 3
Start the same game. Invite a friend or join the agreed online match inside that service.
- 4
Return to the board. Make moves with real pieces; Cynus can bring received opponent moves back to the table when the integration supports that workflow.
