Daimyo Cards

Terms of Service
Last updated: September 30, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Charles Chang (Bao Bao Gaming Studios), Ontario, Canada, for playing Daimyo Cards ("the game"). Installing or playing the game means you accept them. If you do not, please do not play.

The short version

• Play the game, enjoy it, don't cheat.
• Koban, tickets, charms, card backs and tables are parts of a game, not property, and have no cash value.
• There is no real-money gambling: koban can never be cashed out, and nothing you win in the game has any value outside it.
• Buy things through Google Play or the App Store; refunds go through them.
• Cheating a cup, the ranking or a league that pays prizes can cost you the prize and the account.
• We can change or stop the game, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Your licence to play

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and play the game on devices you control, for your own entertainment. You may not sell it, rent it, take it apart to extract its code or assets, or run modified copies of it.

Your account

You can play without linking an account. Linking a Google or Apple sign-in creates a Bao Bao Gaming Studios account, which is shared across all our games. See the privacy policy for what that means for your data.

You are responsible for the sign-in you link and for what happens under it. One account per person. Your player name is unique and is shown to other players on the Shogun Ranking and in the leagues; you can change it once a month. We may change a name that is offensive, impersonates someone, or is chosen to mislead.

You can delete your account at any time from within the game, or by following the account deletion instructions. Deleting the whole account removes your progress in every Bao Bao Gaming Studios game that uses the same account, and cannot be undone.

Koban, tickets, charms and cosmetics

The game contains virtual items: koban, festival tickets, charms (such as the Card Tracker), card backs, table themes and "No ads". They exist only inside the game.

• They are licensed to you for use in the game, not sold to you as property.
• They have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for money, transferred between accounts, or sold.
• Koban are won and lost at the practice tables; that is a game, and koban can never be withdrawn or paid out.
• They can be lost if you delete your account, and they end if the game ends.
• We may change what items cost, what they do, and how many are awarded, as part of balancing the game.

Purchases and refunds

Real-money purchases (koban packs and "No ads") are handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store, under their terms and with their payment methods. We never see your card details. Cup entries and places in the ranking can never be bought.

Purchases deliver immediately and are final, except where the law gives you a right to cancel, or where the store's own refund policy applies. Refunds are requested from the store you bought from, not from us: they took the payment and they are who can return it. If a purchase does not arrive in your game, contact us and we will put it right. "No ads" can be restored on a new device from the Koban Shop.

If a purchase is refunded or charged back, we may remove the items it paid for, including anything already spent.

Castle Cups, the Shogun Ranking, leagues and prizes

Ranked cups are checked on our servers by replaying your moves, so a result that could not have happened is not accepted. The monthly Shogun Ranking and the leagues award in-game prizes when each month closes, and leagues move players up or down.

Using modified clients, automation, multiple accounts, or any means of submitting a result you did not play, may cost you the result, any prize, your league place, and the account. Our decision on whether a result is genuine is final, and we would rather explain it than hide it: ask and we will tell you what we saw.

Prizes are in-game items only. Where a prize has conditions, they are shown in the game.

Playing fairly

Do not attempt to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the game or its servers; do not use another player's account; do not choose a player name that harasses, impersonates or offends. We may suspend or close an account that does.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes, availability and ending

We may update the game, change its content and balance, or add and remove features. We may stop offering the game entirely; if we do, we will give notice in the game where we reasonably can.

We do not promise the game will always be available or free of faults. It is provided as it is, without warranties beyond those the law requires and does not allow us to exclude.

You may stop playing at any time. We may end your licence if you break these terms.

Our responsibility

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, and to the extent the law allows, our total liability to you relating to the game is limited to what you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost virtual items.

Some places do not allow these limits. Where that is so, they do not apply to you.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere, you keep the consumer rights your own country gives you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed, and continuing to play after a change means you accept it. If a change matters, we will say so in the game rather than only here.
