## What is ROGUEGAMMON?

ROGUEGAMMON is backgammon rebuilt for a world where the rules can be hacked. (It was called NEXTGAMMON until version 1.0.26.)

Play the game you know — same board, same dice, same pip counting — but every match you draft mutation cards that bend the laws of backgammon in your favor. Skip a roll. Steal a checker. Reroll the dice. Your opponent is drafting too, and the card you pick is as important as the dice you roll.

FREE 1v1 QUICK MATCH
Pick one of three random cards and jump into a fast one-on-one match against the CPU anytime. No account, no sign-up, no waiting. Completely free forever.

RUN MODE — THE FULL CAMPAIGN
Unlock a 44-stage campaign spread across 7 Acts — Boot Sector, Street Level, The Grid, Deep Net, Black Market, Core Breach, and Singularity. Each Act ends in a Protocol Boss: a rule-breaking opponent with no deck of their own, just a corrupted rule set you have to out-think. The final boss, Omega Core, runs every protocol you have beaten and switches to a new one every 3 turns. Collect all 44 mutation cards — common, rare, epic, and legendary — as you climb. Run Mode is a one-time unlock, and it also removes ads from the entire app.

TWO WAYS TO RUN
- Campaign: lose a match and replay the same stage.
- Roguelite: lose once and the run goes back to stage 1, but every card you have won stays in your deck, and every stage pays double chips.

CYBER LAB
Inspect every card you've collected, study its effect, and plan your next run.

WHY YOU'LL STAY
- Real backgammon strategy at the core — this isn't a reskin, it's the actual game
- A deckbuilding layer that changes how every match plays out
- A full campaign with bosses, not just endless matches
- A one-time Run Mode unlock for the full campaign, with no ads and no subscription

Free players see a small banner on the main menu and an occasional ad between 1v1 Quick Matches. Run Mode owners never see an ad, anywhere in the app.

Reboot the oldest game on the board.

## Pricing and in-app purchases

Base price: Free.

**One-time purchases**

| Purchase | Price | Type |
| --- | --- | --- |

| 100,000 Neon Chips | $0.99 | one-time |



## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.28 — 2026-10-09

Fewer ads, and a fix for the main menu.

- The ad banner on the main menu no longer covers the Start 1v1 button.
- No ad after your first 1v1 match, and full-screen ads now show at most once every few minutes.
- Run Mode still removes every ad in the app.

### 1.0.27 — 2026-10-07

Bigger, clearer dice.

- The dice now land right on the board, in the half of whoever rolled: yours on the right in cyan, the CPU's on the left in pink.
- They are more than twice as big on iPhone, and bigger on iPad too.
- A die leaves the board as soon as you play it, so you always see which ones are left.

### 1.0.26 — 2026-10-06

NEXTGAMMON is now ROGUEGAMMON.

- New name and icon. Your progress, your cards and your Run Mode purchase all carry over.
- New Roguelite mode: choose it when you start a run. One loss sends you back to stage 1, but every card you have won stays in your deck, and every stage pays double chips. The classic Campaign mode is still there.
- 1v1 Quick Match: after a match, rematch with new cards or go back to the main menu.
- On iPhone and iPad the game now opens in your device's language (English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Russian or Arabic).
- Fixed: a 1v1 match started while a campaign run was saved could be counted as a run stage.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-09-28

FINAL BOSS REWORKED — OMEGA PROTOCOL
• OMEGA CORE no longer disables your card for the whole fight. It now runs every protocol you have beaten — FORTIFIED, PHASE WALK, FIREWALL, MIRROR CORE, SIEGE and NULL SECTOR — switching every 3 turns.
• The header counts down the turns left in each protocol, and a "Protocol Incoming" alert warns you one turn before the next one starts.
• Your card stays active except during the 3-turn NULL SECTOR phase. During MIRROR CORE the boss plays a copy of your card for those 3 turns only.

CAMPAIGN PROGRESS IS NOW SAVED
• Your run — stage, cards won, cards captured by a boss, and Cold Storage — is saved on your device. Closing the app no longer sends you back to stage 1.
• If the app closes mid-match, you return to the map at the same stage and simply replay the match. It does not count as a loss.
• After finishing the campaign, the main menu lets you start a fresh run.

CAMPAIGN ENDING & REWARDS
• Beating OMEGA CORE now shows a proper finale, and the map reads "Campaign Complete" with a button back to the main menu.
• The final reward, TERMINATION PROTOCOL, is now playable: once you finish the campaign it can appear in 1v1 Quick Match drafts. Its description now explains what it does for you.
• Your card collection is now recorded, so the COLLECTOR and FULL DECK achievements can be earned. Progress from earlier versions is restored automatically.

PHONE LAYOUT
• The "Bear Off" notice no longer shrinks the board on phones.
• The final boss screens and the campaign complete screen fit phone screens in every language. Long German, Spanish and Russian texts are no longer cut off.

FIXES
• The stage-clear message now correctly says the boss's card was added to your collection.

### 1.0.24 — 2026-09-24

NEXTGAMMON now plays on iPhone. The board, card draft, campaign map and every menu have a landscape layout built for phone screens.
