Everything you need to play, learn, and climb.

The full backgammon experience — no apps, no ads, just dice.

Ranked play

Battle on a Glicko-2 MMR ladder with chess-style league badges. Every ranked match moves the needle, and each season crowns a new champion.

Friends

Add friends, challenge them directly, and track head-to-head stats over time. Built-in voice and chat keep the banter flowing mid-match.

AI opponents

Practice against a roster of AI opponents tuned to different styles and strengths. Every bot has a personality — and an opinion on your doubling cube.

  1. 1

    Objective

    Race all 15 of your checkers around the board and into your home area, then bear them off before your opponent does.

  2. 2

    How pieces move

    Roll two dice each turn. You move one checker the value of each die — or one checker the combined total — always in your direction of travel.

  3. 3

    Dice rules

    Roll doubles and you get to move that number four times instead of twice. If you can't use both dice, you must play whichever one you can.

  4. 4

    Hitting

    Land on a point with a single opposing checker and you send it to the bar. Hit checkers must re-enter your opponent's home board before anything else.

  5. 5

    Bearing off

    Once all your checkers are in your home board, you can start bearing them off. The first player to clear all 15 wins.
