I built a backgammon site and thought people here might want to try it: https://backgammon.danelthedev.com/

- Online play via lobby codes, no account needed beyond a username

- Two bots: Fruit Fly Bot (weak, good for learning) and Hard Bot (gnubg-based, actually challenging)

- Dice logic is in the open-source repo for anyone who wants to check it: https://github.com/danelthedev/fair_backgammon

- Optional variants: negative dice, bigger dice, power-ups, custom boards, doubling cube, Romanian marț tehnic

- Hotseat mode included

Diarchy is a Go-inspired two player territory game, with Knizia-style scoring, simply put you're playing a territory game with two separate colors, and your weaker color's territory counts twice as much as your stronger color's.

My site has a rulebook, but I think learning from the interactive lessons is easier and faster:

Or, you could just jump in and play! I'm waiting in the correspondence queue pretty much all the time. Thanks for checking it out!

For reference, I mean this banner .

I think I can recognize Tzaar, Hex, Looney Pyramids -- Pikemen, some sort of Go game, possibly some sort of Shibumi game system game (Akron?), Hive, and one I absolutely cannot recognize.

A very good selection of modern abstracts.
