Backgammon 008 vs Backgammon

Backgammon, and nothing else. No loot boxes. No coins, gems, or energy timers. No power-ups, no pay-to-win, no ads interrupting a game. Open it, tap Quick match, play. PROVABLY FAIR DICE Most backgammon apps ask you to trust their dice. This one lets you check. Every roll is committed to before it happens and revealed afterwards, signed so it can't be changed retroactively. Any match menu has "Verify dice" — you can confirm for yourself that the dice you got are the dice that were sealed in before you rolled. PLAY SOMEONE YOUR OWN STRENGTH Matchmaking is rating-based, so a first-timer isn't thrown at a veteran. Ratings follow the FIBS system used by serious backgammon players, and they move faster while you're new and settle as you play. Global and regional leaderboards show where you stand. PRACTICE ANY TIME Three bot strengths, unrated, whenever you want them. Pick the match length when you start rather than digging through settings. FULL RULES Doubling cube, gammons and backgammons, Crawford rule, match play or a single game. Drag or tap to move. Undo before you commit. Auto-roll and auto bear-off if you want the game to keep up with you. PLAY A FRIEND Create a match, send the id, they join. Unrated, so ratings can't be traded back and forth. CIVIL BY DESIGN Chat is a short list of set phrases and a few emoji — enough to say "good roll" or "well played", impossible to use for abuse. Mute it entirely if you prefer silence. A 45-second move clock keeps games moving. Sign in with Game Center to carry your profile between devices, or just play — an account is made for you either way. Ads support the app. One purchase removes them permanently. That's the only thing ever sold here.

Backgammon the way it is played across a real table: a wooden board in 3D, checkers you drag from point to point, and dice thrown from a leather cup. PLAY THE COMPUTER Five opponents, from Beginner, who plays for fun and misses a lot, to Expert, who looks at your reply before every move and knows when to double. The stronger levels play better — they are never given better dice. Every roll is random, for you and for the computer alike. PLAY A FRIEND Pass and play on one iPhone or iPad. The board can turn between turns, so each player looks at their own home board. THE WHOLE RULEBOOK Hitting and the bar, bearing off, gammons and backgammons, the doubling cube and the Crawford rule. Play a single game or a match to 3, 5, 7 or 11 points. LEARN AS YOU GO Eight short lessons take you from setting up the board to what to do with a double. Move hints show which checkers can move and where they can land — as much or as little help as you want.
