It's just a well-known Backgammon game: everything you need to play and nothing more: • a simple and nice interface • play alone, with a friend or online • works offline without internet • wooden board and atmosphere • both vertical and horizontal board orientations are supported • the Doubling cube with the Crawford rule. The dice are thrown randomly and do not depend on who is playing, AI level and board conditions. -> WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT BACKGAMMON? Backgammon is one of the oldest board games, dating back about 5,000 years. Now the game is popular worldwide. Playing backgammon requires strategy, tactics and luck. With each roll of the dice, players choose from a variety of options to move the checkers, and must anticipate their opponents’ possible counter-moves. In one game, luck in rolling the dice can be critical, but in a series of games, skill is critical to win. -> HOW TO PLAY Each player has 15 checkers of a different color that move in opposite directions counting the points according to the numbers rolled by a pair of dice. The player first to get his checkers around, and then off the board, wins the game. --- We value your feedback. Send any questions or feedback to us at contact@adikus.com
