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
