Backgammon Cat: Play vs AI

Play backgammon against a strong AI, with a cat who feels every roll.

Choose your level, roll the dice and see how the game is really going. Your cat cheers lucky rolls, sulks at bad ones and worries when things turn against you.

FOUR LEVELS OF AI
- Beginner: friendly, and makes the mistakes most new players make
- Intermediate: a solid club player with the odd slip
- Expert (Pro): looks two moves ahead and plays the doubling cube well
- Grandmaster (Pro): the AI at full strength, a move deeper whenever the choice is close

HOW THE AI LEARNED
The AI is a neural network that taught itself backgammon by playing 800,000 games against itself. Alongside the checkers, it weighs ideas like shot chances, primes and escape chances, and it plays the bear-off from an exact table. It all runs on your device.

SEE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING, LIVE
A win chance bar updates as the game goes on, so you can see how much a roll or a move changed the game.

LEARN WITH BEST-MOVE HINTS
Not sure what to play? Tap Hint and arrows on the board show the best move for your roll.

LUCK OR SKILL?
Every game ends with a report that rates your luck and your skill out of five stars, so you can tell a well-played game from a lucky one.
