I have never played backgammon and appreciate that you added a beginner difficulty. Playing this game gave me an opportunity to at least learn the basics and get an extremely satisfying experience of understanding of why I was able to move certain pieces and how that corresponded with winning and losing. Your gui is extremely polished and a joy to interact with! The WW1 theme further inspires me to understand the game as it provides a clever allegory to the logistics of war within individual battles across a grand scale.
