Backgammon 008

Backgammon with nothing bolted on. Every roll is cryptographically verifiable, matchmaking is by skill, and one tap gets you into a game.

Backgammon, and nothing else.

No loot boxes. No coins, gems, or energy timers. No power-ups, no pay-to-win, no ads interrupting a game. Open it, tap Quick match, play.

PROVABLY FAIR DICE

Most backgammon apps ask you to trust their dice. This one lets you check. Every roll is committed to before it happens and revealed afterwards, signed so it can't be changed retroactively. Any match menu has "Verify dice" — you can confirm for yourself that the dice you got are the dice that were sealed in before you rolled.

PLAY SOMEONE YOUR OWN STRENGTH

Matchmaking is rating-based, so a first-timer isn't thrown at a veteran. Ratings follow the FIBS system used by serious backgammon players, and they move faster while you're new and settle as you play. Global and regional leaderboards show where you stand.

PRACTICE ANY TIME

Three bot strengths, unrated, whenever you want them. Pick the match length when you start rather than digging through settings.

FULL RULES

Doubling cube, gammons and backgammons, Crawford rule, match play or a single game. Drag or tap to move. Undo before you commit. Auto-roll and auto bear-off if you want the game to keep up with you.

PLAY A FRIEND

Create a match, send the id, they join. Unrated, so ratings can't be traded back and forth.

CIVIL BY DESIGN

Chat is a short list of set phrases and a few emoji — enough to say "good roll" or "well played", impossible to use for abuse. Mute it entirely if you prefer silence. A 45-second move clock keeps games moving.
