Backgammon is a lot of fun with iGammon. It’s easy to move the checkers by dragging them. Or touch a checker you want to move, then the point you want to move it to. The smooth animation gives the game a great feel. In table stakes, you and your opponent start with an equal number of chips. The goal is to collect all the chips before your opponent does. Use the doubling cube to increase the stakes.
If you play with the “Jacoby rule”, iGammon and backgammon don’t count unless the cube has been turned. If you play with the “Beavers rule”, a player who accepts a double may immediately redouble and still keep the cube.
