Six games, one board.

Choose a variant before the match and it stays fixed until the last checker is borne off. Every variant works in every mode, online included.

01

Short Nardy

The quick game. Hit lone checkers, re-enter from the bar, and raise the stakes with the doubling cube.

02

Long Nardy

The classical game. All fifteen checkers start on the head, nobody is hit, and building blocks wins the race.

03

Backgammon

The standard rules, with the doubling cube and the Crawford game in match play.

04

Gul Bara

The Turkish “Rosespring”. A race without hitting, where doubles climb all the way to six.

05

Nackgammon

Backgammon from a deeper starting position, for longer and more strategic games.

06

Hypergammon

Three checkers each. Short, sharp games settled in a handful of rolls.

Five ways to play.

One screen

Two players take turns on a single iPhone.

Against the bot

Six opponents across three levels, each with a style of their own.

Tournament

A local match to three points. The score carries from game to game.

Nearby

Two phones on the same Wi-Fi, each holding the whole board.

Online

Find an opponent anywhere through Game Center.

Solo play

Opponents with a temper, and a coach after the game.

Every bot plays its own way. One hunts for blots, another races home, another builds walls in front of you. When the match ends, the analysis shows the moves that decided it.

  • Three levels, from easy to hard
  • A daily challenge, with a streak to keep
  • Match analysis after every game
