A game against a real person — and you can hear him. At a table joined by an invite code you see his face too. The dice are honest: the game seed is on the table and every roll can be recomputed. VOICE AND FACE AT THE TABLE At an online table you can talk. The microphone is asked for once, when you sit down; say no and nothing else changes — the game simply goes on in silence. Video is switched on with a button and only at a table joined by an invite code, that is, between people who know each other; the camera is off by default. You can mute your opponent, report him, and never be matched with him again. GLASS DICE Every roll is computed from the game seed (HMAC-SHA256). The seed is shown on the table; “Verify” recomputes every die. Face, doubles and luck statistics for you and your opponent. No rigged dice, ever. TWO GAMES, REGIONAL RULES • Long nardy: the head, the 6-6/4-4/3-3 first-move exception, the six-block rule, mars and koks. • Backgammon: hitting, the bar, the doubling cube, the Crawford rule, gammon and backgammon. • Tavla and Shesh Besh presets. Matches to 3, 5 and 7 points. A CHAMPION-LEVEL COACH Hints show the best play; the post-game review shows where points were lost. In backgammon the evaluation comes from a neural net stronger than GNU Backgammon, on your phone, offline. HONEST OPPONENTS Six bot characters from novice to master, always labelled. No fake “humans”. Two players on one phone. ONLINE WITH LIVE PLAYERS Find an opponent by rating or play a friend with a table code. Online dice come from the arbiter: the seed hash is shown to both before the first roll, and after the match the seed is revealed so every roll can be recomputed. Elo rating and a top-100 table — only for matches against real people. NO COINS, NO ADS Nothing you can buy makes you stronger. The Store screen holds Pro, three boards sold separately, and tips. Pro unlocks board themes, unlimited hints and the full luck history. Tips (“Support the yard”) unlock nothing — they are just a thank-you. The whole game is free. ONE HAND Portrait board, tap a checker and tap a point, two-dice jumps in one tap, auto-move when there is no choice. Works offline. No sign-up. Interface in 19 languages.
