AsNard runs entirely in your web browser — no app installation is needed. Just a browser and an internet connection.

What Exactly Is AsNard?

AsNard is the first comprehensive Iranian games platform that runs in your browser. Unlike typical apps, AsNard uses 3D technology (Three.js) for backgammon—dice have real physics and checkers move like on a real board. Card games (Hokm, Shelem, Chahar Barg) are fully customizable with authentic Persian design.

AsNard is accessible via Telegram, Bale, and any web browser. You can create private rooms with friends or join ranked tournaments.

Step 1 — Sign In

Getting into AsNard takes less than 30 seconds:

2Sign in with Google or Telegram — no registration required
3Choose your profile avatar (you can change it later)

Step 5 — Game Economy: Coins & Gems

AsNard has two currencies:

  • Tasak (🎲): Basic coins earned from wins. Used for common and rare skins
  • Gem (💎): Premium currency from tournaments and daily challenges. Used for legendary and exclusive items

You get a free Lucky Wheel spin every day, and daily login rewards increase with consecutive logins.

All skins are cosmetic only — they have zero effect on gameplay. AsNard is completely fair: skill determines the winner, not your wallet.

Step 6 — Customization

One of AsNard's highlights is deep customization:

  • Board skins: From classic wood to 3D boards with stunning environments
  • Dice skins: Transparent, neon, golden, and patterned dice
