Shesh Besh Club

A daily backgammon puzzle, the names of all 21 rolls, and the wisdom of the coffeehouse. Pull up a chair.

For over two thousand years, backgammon has been played across the Mediterranean and beyond: in the coffeehouses of Istanbul, Tehran, Tel Aviv, and Beirut, over tea and friendly arguments. Around those tables the game is called shesh besh, every roll of the dice has a name, and every position has a lesson.

Shesh Besh Club brings that table to your pocket.

THE DAILY PUZZLE One hand-picked position every day. Read the board, pick your move, and see how it compares to the engine's best play, with your result scored as a win probability.

A LIBRARY OF 100 PUZZLES Drill volumes organized by theme: holding games, priming, racing, bearing off, and more. Every puzzle is checked against a world-class backgammon engine, so the "best move" really is the best move.

THE LEXICON Learn the traditional Turkish names of all 21 rolls, from Yak-Yak to Du-Shesh, with the story behind each one. Quiz yourself in practice mode or against the clock in Blitz.

CLIMB THE RANKS Solving puzzles builds your IQ rating and moves you up the rank ladder of dice names. Mastering the Lexicon earns you your place in the coffeehouse, from Customer all the way up.

MADE WITH LOVE No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your progress lives on your device. Just the game, its names, and its lessons, passed on the way they always have been: one puzzle, one story, one friendly argument at a time.
