Bitz Backgammon

Sit down at the board and roll the dice. Backgammon is one of the oldest board games in the world, played for something like five thousand years. This is a backgammon app built around a single principle: stay faithful to the classic rules. It traces its roots to the backgammon command from bsd-games, a fixture of UNIX systems for decades, rebuilt from scratch with Apple's modern frameworks. No flashy gimmicks, no in-app purchases. Just an accurate board and the satisfying feel of moving your checkers. FAITHFUL TO THE CLASSIC RULES Twenty-four points, the bar, and the bear-off tray. Legal moves are determined strictly by the rulebook, including passing when no move is available, playing four moves on doubles, and the requirement to use the higher die when only one can be played. Hitting and re-entering from the bar, bearing off, and scoring gammons and backgammons at double and triple value are all handled correctly. If you are still learning, valid destinations are highlighted automatically, so you can play with confidence. THREE LEVELS OF COMPUTER OPPONENT The CPU chooses its moves using Monte Carlo search built on Apple's GameplayKit. Pick from Easy, Normal, or Hard: Easy makes a patient practice partner, while Hard will punish a loose blot. Dice are rolled with a Mersenne Twister random source, so every roll is fair and unbiased. LOCAL TWO-PLAYER Pass one device back and forth and play face to face. No setup, no connection required. Just start a game. ONLINE PLAY THROUGH GAME CENTER Asynchronous turn-based matches are supported. You are free to close the app while waiting for your opponent, and you will be notified when they move. Wins and milestones are recorded to leaderboards and achievements, so you can measure yourself against players around the world. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI "Roll the dice." "Enter from the bar." "What's the board look like?" You can drive an entire game by voice. Shortcuts are supported as well, so you can register your own phrases. Spoken feedback means you can keep playing without looking at the screen. ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. One purchase covers every platform. The app is tuned for Stage Manager on iPad, for the menu bar and keyboard shortcuts on Mac, and for spatial windows on Apple Vision Pro. DETAILS THAT MATTER - Dark Mode support - Dynamic Type support, applied across the whole interface - VoiceOver support - Localized in English and Japanese - Automatic match history - Both tap-to-select and drag-and-drop input
