GNU Backgammon

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnubg/
Strong backgammon program.

GNUBG is a strong backgammon program (world-class with a bearoff database installed) usable either as an engine by other programs or as a standalone backgammon game. In addition to supporting simple play, it also has extensive analysis features, a tutor mode, adjustable difficulty, and support for exporting annotated games. It can be played either from a GTK+ graphical interface, optionally with a 3D board, or from a simple text console.

It was at first extensible on platforms that support Guile.

This is a GNU package:gnubg
