NEW: Daily Games. One move a day, up to 10 rated games at once, and a push when it's your move. Backgammon that fits around your life. Backgammon Reserve is backgammon the way serious players want it. Most backgammon apps bury the game under casino mechanics: coin balances, spin wheels, loud effects. Backgammon Reserve is the opposite. It is a quiet, premium table for people who already love the game and want a trustworthy place to play it. PLAY RANKED ONLINE Match against real players and compete on a live Elo rating. Every ranked match uses server-generated dice, a match clock, and full rules enforcement. The doubling cube, gammons, and backgammons all count. Your rating, global rank, and percentile are real, earned, and on display. PLAY DAILY Backgammon on your schedule. Daily games give each player up to 24 hours per move, and you can keep up to ten going at once. They are rated in the same pool as live play, with the cube in full effect. A notification tells you the moment it is your move, and the app icon counts the games waiting on you. FAIR DICE Dice come from a cryptographically secure random source with bias rejection. No streaks engineered to keep you playing, no rolls tilted toward anyone. In online matches, the server rolls, so neither player's device can influence the dice. SHARPEN YOUR GAME AGAINST THE BOT Four tiers, from Beginner to Expert. The stronger bots play a rollout-validated opening book, understand priming battles and race positions. Bot games never touch your rating, so you can practice freely. PASS & PLAY Hand the phone across the table. A clean two-seat mode for playing in person. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Add friends, send a direct challenge, and settle it in a rated match. Play live with a clock, or start a daily game and take it slow. Head-to-head records included. A RECORD OF EVERY GAME Full match history, win and loss stats, streaks, recent form, and an interactive rating chart that tracks every ranked game you have played. DESIGNED LIKE A MEMBERS LOUNGE Walnut and brass, ivory checkers, understated motion. No neon, no confetti, no noise. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND • No coins, chips, or gambling mechanics • No ads • No pay-to-win mechanics. Nothing for sale. • No engineered dice Full backgammon rules are enforced: bar entry, blot hitting, forced maximum-pip plays, exact and overshoot bear-off, and the doubling cube with proper gammon and backgammon scoring. New to the game? A built-in rules guide teaches everything from setup to the cube.

See exactly what your opponent played. Returning to a daily game now replays their move on the board, with the roll and moves written out in standard notation, plus a replay button to watch it again anytime during your turn. Also in this update: • Blocked rolls now wait for you. When your dice can't be played, they stay on screen until you tap them to pass. No more turns slipping by unseen. • Rematch from the result screen. Finish a daily game and challenge the same opponent to another with one tap. • Daily invites on your Games tab. Invitations you've received and sent now appear alongside your active games. • See when friends were last online, on your friends list and their profiles. • A Notifications option in your Profile, so you can enable move alerts anytime.
