Backgammon is a classic board game popular with many players around the world. Whether you are a beginner or expert player, this game may help to exercise your mind or relax after a long day at work. Enjoy classic gameplay right on your device, train your brain and have fun! How to play Backgammon: - Classic Backgammon is a logic puzzle for two, played on a board of 24 triangles called points. - Each player sits on the opposite sides of the board with 15 checkers, black or white. - To start the game, players take turns and roll the dice. - Players move pieces based on the numbers rolled. For example, if you roll 2 and 5, you can move one piece 2 points and another one 5 points. Alternatively, you can move one piece 7 points. - Once all of a player’s pieces are in his or her “home”, that player may begin removing pieces off of the board. - A player wins once all of their pieces are removed from the board. A few more things to know: - Rolling two of the same number allows you to move 4 times. For example, for a roll of 4 and 4, you can move a total of 16 points, although each piece must move 4 points at a time. - You cannot move a piece to a point that is occupied by 2 or more of your opponent’s pieces - If you move a piece to a point with only 1 of your opponent’s pieces on it, the rival’s piece is removed from the board and placed on the middle partition. Simple and intuitive design lets you focus on the gameplay and master your skills. Start your first round, challenge yourself and keep your brain active!

About

Pucket

Features
Read full description

Pucket takes two seconds to learn and a long time to put down. The board is split in two, with a narrow gap in the middle. There are no turns: both sides sling their discs through that gap at the same time. First to clear their own side wins the round. That's the whole game — and that's why it's hard to stop. HOW IT PLAYS • No turns, no waiting — both sides play simultaneously • Real physics: discs collide, bounce off walls and jam the gap • A round is over in under a minute MODES • Versus CPU: easy, medium, hard • Career: 18 opponents across rising leagues • Timed: 1, 3 or 5 minutes • 2 players on one phone — one device, two people, one board • Practice: work on your shot and your defence with nothing on the line AN OPPONENT THAT FEELS HUMAN The CPU no longer shoots like a metronome. It pauses to think, sometimes fires twice quickly, rushes when it falls behind — and misses. Difficulty is unchanged; what changed is the feeling that someone is on the other side. LOOK The whole game moved to a neon language: a near-black board, glowing lines, discs with halos. Each of the six board themes has its own light architecture — lava cracks, ocean waves, royal lattice. COSMETICS • Disc looks, board themes, emotes and victory effects • Live previews in the shop: you see what you're buying, in motion • The disc you pick shows up during the match too • Opponents turn up with premium discs now and then PROGRESSION Your rating climbs as you win, and your league moves with it. Beating a hard opponent is worth more than an easy one. Daily quests reset every day and pay out tokens when you finish them. Earn tokens by watching ads, or remove ads entirely if you prefer. It plays without an internet connection; your progress syncs once you are back online.
