BackCheckers
Hockey Themed Board Game
Only for iPhone

iPhone
BackCheckers is a fast-paced dice strategy game for hockey lovers and
board game fans. Built for two players, it combines dice rolling, strategic
movement, and real hockey-inspired play in quick, intense matches.
Play a friend across the table, take on the CPU, or use it as a live
scoreboard for the physical BackCheckers board game. Every move matters.
TWO GAMES IN ONE
BackCheckers — turn-based hockey on the rink. Roll, move, shoot and
backcheck. Shots, saves, takeaways, breakaways and penalty shots all play
out on the board.
Odd Man Rush — a hockey-themed checkers variant. Jump your opponent,
promote defenders into forwards, and break away one-on-one against the
goalie.
FOR THE PHYSICAL BOARD GAME
A full digital scoreboard for playing BackCheckers on a real table. Game
clock, periods, shots, saves, takeaways, breakaways, faceoffs and
possession, all tracked live while you play. Log the final score when
you're done and it goes straight into your career stats.
SHARE YOUR GAMES
Send a finished game to whoever you played and it lands in their stats too,
once they confirm it. Send it by AirDrop, Messages, or any app you like —
and it works whether or not they have BackCheckers yet.

DICE BACK ON YOUR OWN SIDE
The dice sits on each player's side of the rink again in CPU and Pass &
Play, instead of sitting on the scoreboard, and it stays put when you
switch between rink sizes mid-game.
PERIODS AND THE CLOCK
After a 3-period game, Play Again now starts a real new match: the period
resets to the first and the clock waits for the opening faceoff instead of
running before anyone has rolled.
ODD MAN RUSH
- The accelerator no longer jumps a token straight over a teammate
standing in its path
- Play Again and Main Menu on the end screen are readable again, and so is
the result when a game ends in a draw
SOUND
The accelerator is heard when the CPU uses one while backchecking for a
save.
SCOREBOARD
- A rotate button in Settings turns the board to face the player across
from you, without having to tilt the phone
- The rules scroll all the way to the end
HOW TO PLAY
Scrolls to the last line everywhere it appears, instead of cutting off
part way down.
SMOOTHER BIGGER RINK
The wrap-around animation is as smooth at 125% as it is at full size.
YOUR GAME LOG IS SAFER
If the saved board-game log can't be read for any reason, it's kept aside
rather than overwritten by the next game you log.
