About this app

Backgammon is one of the oldest and most rewarding strategy games ever created. This app teaches you how to actually play it well. LEARN BY DOING 8 lessons take you from board setup through opening moves, hitting and re-entering, building primes, bearing off, the doubling cube, and advanced positional strategy. Every lesson puts you at the board with interactive positions so you build real understanding, not just memorize rules. PUT YOUR SKILLS TO THE TEST 8 practice scenarios drop you into real game situations. Figure out the most efficient bearing off sequence. Decide whether to hit or make a key point. Evaluate opening rolls. Manage an endgame race. Each scenario gives you immediate feedback so you know exactly where your thinking went right or wrong. PLAY AGAINST THREE AI LEVELS Beginner opponents let you learn at your own pace. Intermediate opponents play solid positional backgammon. Advanced opponents build primes, anchor behind your position, evaluate the race with pip counts, and make sharp doubling decisions. As you improve, your opponents keep up. YOUR GAME, YOUR DATA Game history, win rates, and lesson progress stay on your device. Game Center achievements and leaderboards are there if you want them. Everything works offline. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. EVER. Most free backgammon apps make money by showing you ads every other turn and selling your data to third parties. This app costs $0.99 because we'd rather sell you a great backgammon game than sell your attention to advertisers. One purchase, everything included, nothing else to buy. WHAT'S INCLUDED - 8 structured lessons across Fundamentals, Building Your Game, and Strategy - 8 practice scenarios with real board positions and feedback - 3 AI difficulty levels with distinct play styles - Full rules engine including the doubling cube - Pip count display for evaluating race positions - Game history and detailed statistics - Game Center achievements and leaderboards - Completely offline, completely private
