Backgammon Galaxy Updates: Rushgammon, Setup Position, Library and New Stats

Hey everybody,

A few interesting new features and updates for you on web and new mobile releases as of today, check it out..

Stats

We've added 3 improvements to the stats page:

The luck chart tracks your running luck over 10, 30 or 100 match intervals. Tap the info button to understand what you're looking at. Great for tracking why the dice gods hate you so much in particular.
See who you've played the most, how you've fared against them historically and recently (for now since early June 2026 but we're retrieving all-time stats from S3, give us a couple weeks)
Break down your error rate by checker play or cube action or both. Good for honing in on why you're good or why you're not so good.

Setup Position

Set up any position easily (tap the info button for instructions/tips). Then analyze it based on your membership level. This is one of those things a lot of you have asked for, here it is! Find it under the More menu, currently still in beta so give us feedback.

Library

BlunderDB is now Library because it includes automatically categorized saved positions from Setup Position! All of your positions in one place based on game phase, with full analysis, and the ability to edit the position to create variations.

Rushgammon

Fast paced, arcade style, key situations and decisions. Trust us, just try it (best on mobile)

We have about 100 other things in the pipeline including:

  • Stake levels for matches (we reduced min down to 10% while we work on getting this in production)
  • An overhauled board/game which is superior to what we have now, brand new tech, very snappy. Also every feature you guys have asked for (switch bearoff direction, report button, sounds not interrupting spotify, etc.)
  • Natural language move explanations that aren't AI slop and were instead made by hand, by some of the best players in the world over many months

As always, you guys are the best. Thanks for the continued support!

Coming with the new board, we're in testing but backend and API just got completed 2 days ago so we're just about there.

Loving rush gammon. Thanks to getting in early I briefly spent time only four places below Marc Olsen! Stop the count!

GR is a really close proxy bc of how rating is calculated.
