Roll the dice and race your checkers home
This Backgammon puts the old race game on a polished wooden board with cream and red checkers. The title screen offers Play Local and Online Multiplayer, and Play Local then lets you face the AI or another person on the same device. A lightning button at the side of the board sets the checkers out on their starting points, and a red and a white die wait in the same slot for the first roll.
How to play Backgammon
- Choose Play Local or Online Multiplayer on the title screen.
- In Play Local, pick player against AI or player against player.
- Press the lightning button to set out the checkers, then use the dice in the side slot to roll.
- Move your cream checkers by the numbers rolled, around the board and home.

- The info button on the title screen is the place to look for help.
- Use the fullscreen button on small screens, so the board fills the window.
