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.

Backgammon and Turkish draughts in one app. No internet connection, no sign-up, no chips to buy. IT TEACHES YOU A short walkthrough opens the first time you play. With assist mode on, movable checkers are marked, targets light up, and each one shows which die takes you there. The hint button shows the best move and explains why it is the best. TWO GAMES Backgammon: points, hits, the bar, bearing off, gammons and an optional doubling cube. Turkish and international rule profiles. Turkish draughts: orthogonal movement, compulsory capture, the rule that you must take the largest capture, chain captures and kings.
