About Backgammon with Buddies
Backgammon with Buddies lets you play backgammon with your friends whether they’re nearby or far away.
You can open the app and play on your phone or tablet, just as you would with a board. It’s also possible to play with other players over Game Center or against your friends through the Messages app, by sending the board back and forth after every turn. If you don’t know the rules, the app also contains a small guide to help you get started and a computer-controlled opponent that you can test your understanding against.
Backgammon with Buddies also supports a wide range of accessibility features, such as Dynamic Type, reduced transparency, VoiceOver and custom rotors. This means that you can play Backgammon with all your buddies, not just those who can see or touch the board.
— Features
• Beautifully designed board with rich wood textures and felt lining
• An integrated Messages app experience to play with far away friends
• Remote play against other players over Game Center
• Highly accessible with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type
• A lightweight app that respects your privacy
