## What is BackwardGammon?

BackwardGammon gives the classic game a fresh, new spin. It has been reimagined to be smaller, faster, and even more accessible to more people in more situations. The single die is more than enough to prove challenging to the most experienced backgammon enthusiasts. 

It is backward because unlike the classic, the goal is to have the most pieces on the board when the game ends. Pieces can be captured, and those captured pieces benefit the player that gets all their remaining pieces home.

Despite the change in rules, the game is easy to learn. games can be played quickly while you are in a line, on a bus, in a waiting room, in a coffee shop, or wherever you happen to be. You can play it with friends on the same device, or opt for Game Center play. Enjoy it any way you like.
