IW Backgammon 1.3: Season 3 and placement matches

IW Backgammon 1.3: Season 3 and placement matches

A fresh ladder, five placement matches to find your level, and a rebuilt match history.

Season 3 of ranked play starts today. Every player begins with five placement matches that set a provisional rating, so the first week of the ladder reflects how people actually play instead of who logged in first.

We have also rebuilt the match history screen. Each game now shows the full move list and the cube decisions, and you can replay any match move by move.

Smaller fixes: faster reconnects after a dropped connection, clearer legal-move highlights on small screens, and a setting to turn off automatic bear-off.

IW BackgammonThe oldest race in the world, rebuilt for quick matches on any screen.
