Backgammon
The classic board game, you against the computer, on the biggest screen in the house. Roll, move your checkers home and bear them off with the remote.
Coming soon to Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
Free to play · No tracking · Made for everyone
Fifteen checkers, two dice, one race home
Made for the remote
OK rolls. Left and right go through the checkers that can move, OK picks one up and lights where it can go, OK moves it. Forced moves are played for you.
A computer that thinks
Easy plays loosely and likes to hit, Normal weighs every play, Hard also thinks through all 21 rolls you could answer with.
Fair dice
Every roll comes from your TV's secure random generator: each face is exactly as likely as the others, every time.
For every player
Backgammon works with TalkBack: every point, checker and roll describes itself, and every move, the computer's too, is said in the board's own point numbers, so a game can be followed by ear. Without a screen reader, the game can read itself aloud. High contrast makes the board black with white and yellow checkers, numbers can be shown on all 24 points, the checkers can be made bigger, and the game follows the text size set on your TV.
Backgammon is free to play. Now and then a short card between games shows our other apps, and it can be skipped after five seconds. Backgammon Pro, bought once in Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, removes the cards and adds the rest.
