About Backgammon: Prime or Blitz
Backgammon, the way it should be: sit down, roll, play. No ads. No coins. No account. Just backgammon. Play a quick single game or a match to 3, 5, or 7 — with the doubling cube waiting once the stakes feel right. Face the computer at three levels, from Dunce to Einstein, or hand the device across the table for pass-and-play. Your opponent can be given a name. Add your own name too, and the leaderboard remembers every result: gammons, backgammons, and match wins, with your best games ranked on top. Scores live on your device. Nothing leaves it. FEATURES • Single games or matches to 3, 5, or 7 points • Doubling cube in match play — offer, take, or drop • Three computer levels: Dunce, Normal, Einstein • Pass-and-play for two • Rename yourself and your opponent — your history stays yours • A leaderboard that never forgets your best games • Share a result as a picture • Dice, checker, and win sounds — toggle anytime • Designed for iPad and iPhone, in landscape • No ads, no coins, no account, no data collected If you enjoy the game, there's a tip jar behind the heart. Tips are appreciated — and no, they won't change how the dice roll.
