Backgammon vs Couch Classics

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!

Couch Classics is a shelf of old board games, played by two people across a sofa or by one against the computer. It began as a wish for a collection that is simple and good-looking, made for playing with a friend - without adverts interrupting a turn, and without the glitz that games this old have never needed. These games have a history worth knowing, so each one has a short card: where it came from, what it is called elsewhere, and how it is played. It waits there until you are ready to play. This is a beginning rather than a finished collection. Requests are genuinely welcome - a classic that is missing, or another way of playing one already here - and so are TestFlight testers: checking every rule of every game single-handed is a fair amount of work, and another pair of eyes before an update goes out is what lets me keep adding games. I wish you many good games, alone and across the sofa. - JiSvis Games in current version: - Backgammon - Checkers - Chess - Gomoku - Mancala - Nine Men's Morris - Reversi - Tic-Tac-Toe Pass and play, on the one device. Each game keeps two unfinished boards - one against the computer, one against the player beside you - and both wait until you come back to them. One game of your choice is free and stays yours, on every device signed in to your Apple Account. After that, any game can still be tested against AI Easy and be bought, if you want to fully unlock it. Classic and modern themes to choose between. Classic puts each game in its own material and lays it on a table of wood, marble or concrete. Modern is the flat system look, with no table. Both follow the device into light or dark. No ads, no tracking. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to subscribe to. The app carries no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it sends nothing anywhere on its own - everything except buying a game works with the network switched off.
