Backgammon Pip · Fair Dice vs Neon Backgammon

Backgammon with dice you can check. Before the first roll, Pip locks in every roll of the game and shows you the fingerprint of that lock. When the game ends, the lock is opened for you to see, and every roll matches. The app could not have chosen a roll after seeing the board, and the screen says so in one line. NO ADS, NOTHING TO BUY One price. No coins, no energy, no chests, no subscription, no interruptions. The whole game, forever. A REAL BOARD A wooden case that opens on the bar, felt, bevelled checkers that fly between the points, and dice that tumble in 3D and land on the number they were locked to. Sounds of wood and felt, not beeps. Light and dark. THREE COMPUTER OPPONENTS, LABELLED AS COMPUTERS Nobody pretends to be a person. Easy, medium and strong; the strong one looks two moves ahead, uses the cube, and refuses a direct shot when a safe play exists. TWO PEOPLE, ONE PHONE Pass and play on the same board. COMMENTARY FROM THE FACTS A short word after each turn: a point made, a hit, a blot left in range, a prime taking shape. Computed from the position, never invented. Switch it off in settings if you prefer silence. THE FULL RULES Bar, hits, bearing off, forced use of both dice, the larger-die rule, doubles, the doubling cube, gammon and backgammon. The engine never offers an illegal move. Pip is made by one person who was tired of coin casinos wearing a board.

Backgammon, the way it should be on a phone. No ads interrupting your turn. Nothing to buy. No sign-up, no account, and no internet connection needed at any point. Play against the computer or hand the phone to a friend. Your game saves itself the moment you close it, so a single match can last all week.
