Play backgammon on your phone

Your phone is the perfect backgammon table: always with you, ready for a quick game in a line or on the couch. The catch with most options is the app-store dance, the download, the account, the updates. There is a simpler way. Play backgammon on your phone straight from the browser, free, with nothing to install.

No app, no install

Backgammon Battles runs in your mobile browser on both iPhone and Android. Open the site and you are playing in seconds, with no download, no app-store account, and no storage used on your phone. For a game you reach for in short bursts, skipping the install is the whole point.

Add it to your home screen

If you want it to feel like a real app, add the site to your home screen. It gets its own icon and opens full screen, exactly like an installed app, but without ever going through an app store or downloading anything. You get the convenience of an app with none of the overhead.

The full game, sized for your thumb

This is not a cut-down mobile version. On your phone you get real opponents through matchmaking, practice against the computer, provably fair dice, and free analysis of every game. The board is built to be played one-handed, so tapping a checker and rolling feels natural on a small screen.

It follows you to your other devices

Because your account holds your progress, your rating, history, and games appear on whatever you pick up next. Play a quick game on your phone at lunch, then review the analysis on your laptop later. Nothing to sync, nothing to transfer.

Start free, right now

It is free, and you can start as a guest without making an account at all, which on a phone is the difference between playing now and giving up at a signup form. When you are ready for more, jump into free online play or test yourself in tournaments. New to the game? Start with how to play.
