How to play
Move your checkers with a mouse click after rolling the dice. Valid moves are highlighted, though this option can be disabled.
Play by the traditional Long Backgammon rules: all 15 checkers begin in the starting position, only one checker can leave per turn, doubles allow for four moves, and you must make a legal move if possible. The winner is the first to move all their checkers off the board.
When playing against AI, you set the table stakes. Each of the 9 AI opponents has its own betting limits — the stronger the bot, the higher the stakes and rewards. You can reroll the dice or undo a move by watching an ad.
In Royal Backgammon: Online PvP, both players wager 200 coins, with the victor taking everything. Elo rating is earned exclusively in PvP: your initial matches establish your skill level, after which matchmaking pairs you with opponents of similar ability. Friendly matches are casual and don't affect stakes or ratings.
Each game consumes 1 Energy, which replenishes over time.
