A MeshGames title · by DataXad
A premium, touch-friendly board that lives entirely on your phone. Roll the dice against an adaptive AI — portrait or landscape, no internet required.
What it is
No sign-ups, no servers, no noise. Just a beautiful board, a clever opponent, and a roll of the dice — wherever you are.
The full game runs with no internet. A readable, touch-friendly board with clear dice and move feedback, in portrait and landscape — anywhere, even on a plane.
Play against the app on Easy, Medium, or Hard. The Hard tier uses real board evaluation, so there's always a game worth winning.
No accounts. No ads. No data collected, shared, or uploaded — no analytics or telemetry. Everything stays on your device. Privacy isn't a setting here; it's the architecture.
The features
Set the board the way you like it, then track how you're doing over time.
Clean mahogany-and-felt points, crisp dice, and last-move feedback so you always know what just happened — tuned for thumbs, in both orientations.
Easy to learn on, Medium to stay sharp, and a genuine Hard tier with board-aware evaluation when you want a real fight.
Single game or a proper match to 3, 5, or 7 points. Set the stakes before you sit down and play it out.
Your record lives on your device — wins, losses, and gammons counted over time, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Nearby multiplayer connects two Android phones directly over Bluetooth — no online lobby, no matchmaking service, no internet. It's the MeshGames vision: games that connect people in the same place, off the grid.
Honest note: nearby Bluetooth multiplayer is available in open beta. It has passed two-device Android validation, but it remains a beta feature while real-world connection and resume behavior continue to be refined.
The real thing
Portrait for one-handed play, landscape for the full table. Same warm mahogany board, both ways.
Privacy as a feature
Nothing leaves
your device.
MeshGames Backgammon is cloudless by design. There's no account to create and no server to phone home to. Optional Send Feedback simply opens a pre-filled draft in your own email app — you decide whether to send it.
