FREE DVD or CD Testimonials 100% Genuine Feedback Just a quick note of appreciation. I'm using your software for a student I teach who has many learning difficulties, but he is thrilled (and motivated) to be working with your software. Please continue the excellent work, and best of luck going forward. Ed, Canada. We are a homeschool family and we have been using your site for nearly 10 months now...we think you're great! Keep up the fantastic work you do! Warmest Regards Sarah, New Zealand I have been using your programs for years now and am really glad for a chance to say how FAB they are. They are better than any other I've found for educational purposes and a fraction of the price. All the kids who have used them at my school LOVE them and I think you are a very very clever man!!

My backgammon game with moveable counters, rolling dice and scoring facility. Program includes an uninstall facility. Compressed file size - 705 KB. For help with downloading and installing, click here How To Play This game is mouse controlled for two players. It provides you with a board, moveable counters, 2 throwable dice and a scoring facility. It is not a game where you can play the computer. To throw the dice left click and hold the mouse pointer over the dice shaker on the right. As long as you keep your pointer there, the dice will be shaken! Release the left mouse button to throw the dice. To move your counters just left mouse click on them and holding the mouse button down, drag them to the desired position. Scores can be kept in the bottom right of the screen. To adjust these just click on your score button to add a game. If you make a mistake, right click to subtract one. After 3 games are won, the sets figure automatically increases by one. You can also reduce this figure by right clicking on it. Backgammon is a game played by two players, each of whom, according to throws of dice, moves 15 counters on a specially marked board in an effort to be the first to move the counters off the board. The counters, red and blue (normally black and white in the physical game but coloured in my game for easy viewing) are set out on a board divided into halves-called the inner and outer tables-by a partition, or bar. The tables are marked by 12 elongated triangles called points; the object of play is to be the first to move all 15 counters from point to point into one's own inner table (home), and then to continue moving or bearing them off the board. The direction of play is shown in the diagram below. The winner scores a single game if the opponent has borne off at least one counter. A gammon is won when all the loser's counters are still on the board. A backgammon is when the opponent has any counters left on the winner's inner table or on the bar. Both a gammon and a backgammon are worth double points. The counters are moved the exact number of points indicated by the number on two dice thrown from a dice cup. When doubles are thrown, four plays of the number on the dice are required. Plays must be made for both dice if possible; if either number thrown may be played, but not both, then the higher number thrown must be played. A counter may not be moved to a point occupied by two or more of the opponent's counters; if a counter is moved to a point occupied by only one counter, however, it is called a blot, and the opponent's counter is removed to the bar. Since players cannot move while they have a counter on the bar, the counter must first be re-entered; this can only be done by rolling the number of an exposed point on the opponent's inner table.
