How to play
Backgammon and chat in the Sociable app. This existing app capture may differ from the current version.

From the first roll to bearing off

Move your checkers according to the dice, work toward your home board and aim to bear them off before your opponent. Look for safe positions and consider the risk of leaving a single checker exposed. Use the rules shown in Sociable for the current match and its available options.

A big roll is only part of the story. Think about the position you will leave for your opponent.

Make room for one more round

A lucky escape, a clever block or a close finish can carry a conversation much further than another short message. Play with a friend in Sociable, enjoy the banter and choose together whether it is time for a rematch. The shared experience is the reason to keep connecting.

Sociable brings the game and the conversation together: a good move gives you something to talk about, and the next round gives you a reason to return.
