Description

Backgammon is a computer version of the classic board game of the same name. It can only be played against the AI and is completely controlled with the keyboard: after the random dice roll, the player needs to specify a piece and where it should be moved to by entering the row numbers. There are also associated keys for moving a piece from the bar or moving it home.
