Beginners will enjoy the game tutorials and easy to use interface that highlights valid moves and makes learning the game a painless experience.

New: Two new games introduced in version 1.30:

• Acey Deucey is the favourite backgammon game of the US Navy, and introduces a special dice roll.
  When you roll 2,1 you play the dice as normal, but are then allowed to choose any double, and then roll for a third time.
  The resulting game adds an exciting edge to your backgammon.
• Gul Bara is a completely different type of game. With no hitting the game becomes a pure race, and is
  much more tactical than standard backgammon. What really stands out is the use of doubles. Roll any double and you get
  to play it and then all subsequent doubles up to double 6. So if you roll a double 1 you play 1,1 followed by 2,2 ... 3,3 all
  the way up to 6,6. Roll this at right time and the game can be won from the most hopeless of positions!

Other features:

• Seven new game variations from Hypergammon to Longgammon and more!
  
  
• Backgammon Challenges compete in series of matches against a range of opponents.
  
  
• Dice Statistics compare dice rolled by each player with detailed graphs of doubles.
