Backgammon, beautifully. Gammon is backgammon stripped back to what matters - a board you actually want to look at, and a game that gets out of your way. No coins, no timers, no noise. Just the roll, the board, and the next move. PLAY THE COMPUTER Three opponents that actually play the position - Beginner, Casual, and Expert. PLAY A FRIEND, FACE TO FACE Sit across from each other, one device between you, and take turns like a real board. MADE TO BE CLEAR Tap the board to roll, tap a checker to see every legal move - single die or both dice combined - and undo is always one tap away. No account. No ads. No internet required.
