Neon Backgammon
Read full descriptionHide full description
Backgammon, the way it should be on a phone. No ads interrupting your turn. Nothing to buy. No sign-up, no account, and no internet connection needed at any point. Play against the computer or hand the phone to a friend. Your game saves itself the moment you close it, so a single match can last all week. WHAT YOU GET • The full game: hitting and re-entering from the bar, bearing off, gammons and backgammons • A real doubling cube, with ownership passing to whoever accepts the double • Three computer difficulties, from a loose racer to an opponent that plays out whole turns in its head before it commits to one • Two players on one device, passing the phone back and forth • Five board themes: Neon Night, Classic Wood, Ocean, Synthwave, and Felt & Gold • Play as white or black, and flip the board so your home sits where you expect it • Tap to move, or drag the checker where you want it • Undo any move before you end your turn • A How to Play screen covering the whole game, the cube included • Haptics tuned per action, and sound you can switch off WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • No ads. Not banners, not videos, not "watch this to keep playing" • No in-app purchases and no subscription. Every theme and every mode is there on first launch • No account, no email, no sign-in • No internet connection. The app never makes a network request, so it plays identically on a plane or in a basement • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection of any kind. There is nothing to collect Built by one person who wanted a backgammon app that was not trying to sell him something every ninety seconds. Questions or bugs: eric@erichunsicker.com
