## What is Backgammon 008?

Backgammon, and nothing else.

  No loot boxes. No coins, gems, or energy timers. No power-ups, no
  pay-to-win, no ads interrupting a game. Open it, tap Quick match, play.

  PROVABLY FAIR DICE

  Most backgammon apps ask you to trust their dice. This one lets you
  check. Every roll is committed to before it happens and revealed
  afterwards, signed so it can't be changed retroactively. Any match menu
  has "Verify dice" — you can confirm for yourself that the dice you got
  are the dice that were sealed in before you rolled.

  PLAY SOMEONE YOUR OWN STRENGTH

  Matchmaking is rating-based, so a first-timer isn't thrown at a veteran.
  Ratings follow the FIBS system used by serious backgammon players, and
  they move faster while you're new and settle as you play. Global and
  regional leaderboards show where you stand.

  PRACTICE ANY TIME

  Three bot strengths, unrated, whenever you want them. Pick the match
  length when you start rather than digging through settings.

  FULL RULES

  Doubling cube, gammons and backgammons, Crawford rule, match play or a
  single game. Drag or tap to move. Undo before you commit. Auto-roll and
  auto bear-off if you want the game to keep up with you.

  PLAY A FRIEND

  Create a match, send the id, they join. Unrated, so ratings can't be
  traded back and forth.

  CIVIL BY DESIGN

  Chat is a short list of set phrases and a few emoji — enough to say
  "good roll" or "well played", impossible to use for abuse. Mute it
  entirely if you prefer silence. A 45-second move clock keeps games
  moving.

  Sign in with Game Center to carry your profile between devices, or just
  play — an account is made for you either way.

  Ads support the app. One purchase removes them permanently. That's the
  only thing ever sold here.
