## What is Backgammon?

A beautiful board. A thoughtful game. One more roll.

Backgammon brings the classic game to iPhone and iPad with tactile boards, dice and checkers. Settle into a game against the computer, pass your device to a friend, or keep a match going from wherever you are. No ads interrupt the board.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Play offline against Easy, Medium or Hard computer opponents, or take turns on one device. Invite friends through iCloud and Game Center. Keep unlimited games open, return when you’re ready, and start a rematch when the last checker is home.

TOGETHER NOW. ANOTHER TURN LATER.
SharePlay brings a saved iCloud game into a live session. Talk over FaceTime while you play, then continue the same game later with your score and progress intact. SharePlay is free for everyone.

MAKE THE BOARD YOURS
Classic Tournament is free. Optional Pro opens all 22 board styles, from wood and leather-inspired surfaces to Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue and Silver. Explore light and dark appearances and choose from 24 app icons, including two golden icons. Let your icon follow your board or pick it independently.

ONE MORE GAME
Open the free tutorial book from home or during a game: 24 concise lessons, automatically repeating moves on premium boards, progress dots, challenges and a selectable text reader. Read the rules guide and follow the race with pip counts. In Game Settings, choose a single game or a match to 3, 5 or 7 points. Longer matches support the doubling cube and Crawford rule. Roll and finish turns automatically, or review your tentative moves before confirming. Play in portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad.

Work toward 40 achievements, collect distinctive checkers and equip earned emblems. Try the Bear-Off Trial: six checkers, a fixed dice sequence, and the challenge of finishing in fewer turns. Compare scores and challenge friends through Game Center.

MORE WITH PRO. MADE POSSIBLE BY YOU.
Pro adds Expert, Master and Ultra computer levels, position history to revisit saved moves, a Pro badge, and Live Activities for up to three online games. Follow the latest synced position from your Lock Screen, see game status in Dynamic Island on supported devices, and tap to return to play. Position history does not provide expert move grading. Live Activity updates depend on connectivity and Apple’s system delivery.

Choose Yearly or Lifetime Pro to support the independent developers at Ocho and help keep Backgammon ad-free. Unlimited open games, all play modes, tutorial book, rules guide and achievements remain free. Pro expiry never limits your open games.

Eligible Apple Accounts can try Yearly Pro free for 7 days after confirming an Apple subscription. Annual billing begins after the trial and renews automatically unless canceled. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no trial; it does not cancel a separate annual subscription. Local prices are shown before purchase. Restore Purchases is available.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 27 or later. Computer and same-device games work offline. Online play requires internet access and the relevant Apple services. SharePlay requires both players to have the app and access to the same shared iCloud game. App and book available in English, Dutch, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Ocho won the 2026 Apple Design Award for Delight and Fun with Grug.
