The title might be a bit of an exaggeration, but that's the goal. With the different game pieces at your disposal (and more to come soon), and the ability to create any board you like, you're able to create any board setup you can imagine.

Apart from the usual game pieces, special game pieces include: a die, snappers (ensuring that your parts snap to the right parts of the box), sliders (a drawer-like part situated at the ends of the board allowing you to put away game pieces during gameplay), and a pack of regular playing cards (which you can shuffle, turn over or peek).

Jiroft fully uses multi-touch technologies, and thus all the players around the board can move their pieces at the same time. You can rotate, resize, move and throw your game pieces with the intuitive gestures you know and love.

Apart from building your own board the game also comes with some presets, including: chess, checkers and Backgammon (as seen from the screenshots).

Note: Jiroft emulates a real-life playing experience and, thus, Jiroft doesn't ensure that the players are following the rules.

PS: We are aware that the Jiroft icon appears heavily aliased in the App Store. The icon shows up fine on the device when the app is downloaded so this shouldn't be a problem, but we are working to fix the App Store icon.
