Backgammon 008
Provably fair dice. Just play.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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.
Sign in with Game Center to carry your profile between devices, or just
play — an account is made for you either way.
Ads support the app. One purchase removes them permanently. That's the
only thing ever sold here.
