Why a cloud and AI company makes board games.

CloudAlls started as a technology company — cloud infrastructure, AI tooling, the kind of work that happens on servers most people never see. CloudAlls Play is our smaller, quieter division, built on the same standard but pointed at something you can hold in your hands.

We began with Chathranga, a strategy game that predates chess by centuries. Its name comes from the Sanskrit for the four divisions of an ancient army — infantry, cavalry, elephants and chariots — each represented by a different piece on the board. We rebuilt it twice: once as a free browser game anyone can open in seconds, and once as a handcrafted walnut and brass set for people who want the weight of the pieces in their hands.

That's the idea behind everything we make here: apply the precision our engineers bring to cloud software to something as simple as a game night. No accounts required to play, no compromises on the materials we ship.
