## What is Backgammon?

Backgammon, the way it should be: sit down, roll, play.
No ads. No coins. No account. Just backgammon.

Play a quick single game or a match to 3, 5, or 7 — with the doubling cube waiting once the stakes feel right. Face the computer at three levels, from Dunce to Einstein, or hand the device across the table for pass-and-play.

Your opponent can be given a name. Add your own name too, and the leaderboard remembers every result: gammons, backgammons, and match wins, with your best games ranked on top. Scores live on your device. Nothing leaves it.

FEATURES
• Single games or matches to 3, 5, or 7 points
• Doubling cube in match play — offer, take, or drop
• Three computer levels: Dunce, Normal, Einstein
• Pass-and-play for two
• Rename yourself and your opponent — your history stays yours
• A leaderboard that never forgets your best games
• Share a result as a picture
• Dice, checker, and win sounds — toggle anytime
• Designed for iPad and iPhone, in landscape
• No ads, no coins, no account, no data collected

If you enjoy the game, there's a tip jar behind the heart. Tips are appreciated — and no, they won't change how the dice roll.
