Hey everyone,
I fell in love with backgammon, but I wanted an offline version that felt calmer, warmer and closer to playing on a premium physical board in a private club.
After several intense weeks of learning, testing and polishing, I’ve released the first Windows version of Backgammon Lounge on itch.io.
The current version includes:
• A handcrafted luxury board with detailed woodwork, mother-of-pearl-style points, ivory and deep-red checkers
• Complete 1, 3, 5 and 7-point matches, including gammon and backgammon scoring
• Easy, Medium and Hard AI for casual solo play and practice
• Local hotseat play for two players on the same computer
• Legal-move highlighting (optional), sound effects, music and fullscreen mode
To be completely transparent, the current version does not yet include the doubling cube or online matchmaking. Both are planned for future updates, along with additional luxury board designs.
The Early Access price is $5.99. I’d especially appreciate honest feedback about the presentation, usability and AI balance, so I can continue improving the game in future updates.
