About Savvology - There is a lot of luck involved in most of the mainstream real-money games (Poker, Fantasy, Ludo, Rummy) which makes it hard to win anything. We want to create pure skill-based strategy games (no luck factor), where you can control your outcome better. What’s more, more than 50% of the players win! We make use of Game Theory (the science of decision-making) to come up with games that are so simple that even a 5-year-old can play. Our vision is to encourage people to make better decisions through gamification.
