Backgammon
Classic dice board game
Race all fifteen of your checkers around the board and bear them off before your opponent. Land on a single enemy checker to send it back to the bar, build points to block the way, and time your race.
Play the computer at two levels or a friend on the same device, in single games or matches to 3 or 5 points. A gammon is worth two points. The board turns upright on a phone so the checkers are easy to tap.
