Bored of playing the same old backgammon, over and over?
ALVAT flips the game you know upside down. Same board, same checkers, same dice — but a brand-new way to play.
In ALVAT the board starts completely EMPTY. Your 15 checkers wait on the bar, and you bring them into play with your dice. But here's the twist: you don't hit your opponent — you LOCK them. Land on a lone enemy checker and it's trapped beneath yours. Towers rise, chains form, and every roll becomes a fresh puzzle. The first player to move all 15 checkers across the board and bear them off wins.
It's the strategy of backgammon, reimagined.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A true twist on a 5,000-year-old classic — easy to learn, hard to master • Play against a smart AI that actually thinks • Challenge real players worldwide in live online matches • Pass-and-play on a single phone with a friend • Beautiful board themes to make the game your own • Clean, modern design with satisfying dice and checker animations • Single games or best-of-3 and best-of-5 series
