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

Backgammon and long nardy with dice you can actually check. DICE YOU CAN CHECK Before each game the app seals the whole sequence of rolls and shows its fingerprint. You can add your own phrase, so the app cannot choose a convenient sequence in advance. After the game you get the key and can recompute every roll — in the app, on our website, or with any standard HMAC tool. The computer's level never touches the dice, and neither does any purchase. A STRONG COMPUTER THAT EXPLAINS • Five levels, from beginner to master, calibrated by error rate • Hints: the best move shown right on the board • Coach: after a mistake, learn in plain words why another move was better • Game review: error rate, luck of both sides, your costliest moves • Replay any position with the same dice TWO GAMES IN ONE • Backgammon with the doubling cube, matches up to 11 points, Crawford and Jacoby rules • Long nardy under standard tournament rules: the head rule, no six-point wall, mars • Play against the computer or with a friend on the same phone LEARN AND IMPROVE • Interactive rules lessons on a live board • Your statistics by game and level, with your error rate over time • Dice statistics against fair odds: doubles, entries from the bar, hits YOUR WAY • Real dice mode: roll your own dice and enter the results • 30 boards, from walnut and marble to regional styles • Simple mode with big buttons, light and dark appearance, color-blind friendly highlights • English, Russian, Turkish and German • Works offline, no account needed; progress can be kept in your own iCloud FREE AND PRO Everything to play is free: both games, all levels, matches, verification, review, statistics and 6 boards. You get 3 hints a day against the computer, plus 3 more for an optional video, and a short ad after every second game — never during a game. Pro is a one-time purchase: no ads and unlimited hints, forever. More boards are available separately. Questions: support@kohone.net
