TOMMY’S BIGAMMON & TRIGAMMON
Each player has 15 pieces on 1-3 tracks and
the first to get them all off the end wins,
based on the throw of 2 dice. Pieces can
change tracks and “hit” opposing pieces
throwing them back to the start. 1-track
mode is the classic game of Backgammon.
2-players, you vs. the PC or another player.
Works with any DOS PC or clone, any monitor,
no mouse or joystick needed.

Another thing that really makes Tommy’s Backgammon v.2 enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Tommy’s Backgammon v.2. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
