About Backgammon UK
Backgammon UK is a free browser-based backgammon game that works on desktop and mobile. There is nothing to download or install - just open the site and start playing.
Play Against the Computer
Take on the AI at four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. Each level uses a different board evaluation strategy, so the challenge grows as your skills improve. You can also try different game variations including Nackgammon, Hypergammon, and Tavla.
Play Against Friends
Create a PvP match and share the join code with a friend. Matches support the doubling cube, configurable time controls, and multi-game series. A built-in chat with emotes keeps things lively during play.
Track Your Progress
Every game earns you points, and PvP games also affect your Elo rating. Check the Leaderboard to see how you compare with other players, or visit Rewards to unlock achievements as you hit milestones.
Analyse Your Games
After each game, a detailed analysis breaks down your moves across three phases: basic stats, move quality, and a luck-versus-skill separation. You can also replay your games move by move to see where things went right or wrong.
Compete in Tournaments
Single elimination tournaments let you test your skills in a structured bracket format. Players are seeded by Elo rating, and matches are created automatically as the bracket progresses.
Built for the Browser
The game board runs on HTML5 canvas with a responsive layout that adapts to your screen size. No plugins, no Flash, no app store - it just works in your browser.
