A Fun Yet Limiting Backgammon Experience

Absolute Backgammon Lite offers a simplified version of the classic game, making it accessible for newcomers but lacking depth for seasoned players.
No ads, no gimmicks, just great backgammon and acey deucey. If you enjoyed Absolute Backgammon and Acey Deucey on your desktop, you'll appreciate this version as well; it provides the same excellent backgammon experience.
Compatible with iOS 8 and later versions, Absolute Backgammon Lite is initially designed for iPad but now supports iPhones as well. This lite version features both backgammon and acey deucey games, allowing you to play against a computer opponent.
