Backgammon Online with Friends vs Kutuama Backgammon Online

Backgammon against a real person — and you can hear them. At a table joined by an invite code you see their face too. The dice are fair: the game seed is on the table and every roll can be recomputed. No coins, no ads, no sign-up. 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 them, and never be matched with them 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. BACKGAMMON AND THREE MORE RULE SETS • Backgammon: hitting, the bar, the doubling cube, the Crawford rule, gammon and backgammon. • Long nardy: the head, the 6-6/4-4/3-3 first-move exception, the six-block rule, mars and koks. • 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.

You roll when you're ready; the dice are generated on the server. The system works the same way for everyone. THE DICE ARE YOUR LUCK The dice are completely random — your rating or any other variable has no effect on the outcome. You choose the moment you roll, and that's your luck in the game. LEARN WITH THE BOT If you want to warm up, you can play against the bot anytime. REAL OPPONENTS Every rated game is played against a real player; your rating updates the moment it ends. A RATING THAT SHOWS THE TRUTH Your skill is measured with Glicko-2, the algorithm used by game platforms worldwide. Your rating settles after about 50 games; the rankings highlight players who are active now, not those who played years ago and left. WHO GOES FIRST The server picks the starting player at random. If you roll first, you earn slightly less rating at the end of the game. TRADITIONAL RULES You play the classic backgammon you know: Turkish street-style rules, no doubling cube. If your opponent hasn't borne off a single checker, it's a gammon and counts as 2 games. SPECIAL RULES Leaving a live game ruins it, so your matchmaking wait gets longer for the next game. REGISTER YOUR GUEST ACCOUNT A guest account saves your rating. Register whenever you want and play with the same account on your other devices. RUNS ON OLD PHONES TOO Smooth even on old phones and slow internet. Playable in 20+ languages. Questions and suggestions: contact@kutuama.com
