Backgammon

Classic backgammon board game for offline gameplay against AI opponents or local friends.

Backgammon is a traditional race-and-capture duel utilizing strategic movement and doubling cube mechanics. Roll the dice, move your fifteen checkers around the board, and bear them all off before your opponent does. Land on a single enemy checker to send it to the bar, build protective primes, and anchor deep points on the board.

Five distinct AI difficulty levels—ranging from Beginner to Grandmaster configurations—help you learn the game and test your tactical skills. The game also supports local pass-and-play functionality on a single device for two players.

HOW TO PLAY
- Roll two dice and move your checkers the shown number of points. Higher rolls can split across multiple checkers.
- Double rolls provide four moves of that specific number.
- Land on a single opposing checker (a blot) to send it to the bar.
- Checkers sent to the bar must re-enter the opposing home board before any other moves can be executed.
- Once all 15 of your checkers reach your home board, bear them off to win the match.
- Utilize the doubling cube to increase the point values during strategic moments of play.
