Welcome friends of GreedyGammon

Hi from the author of GreedyGammon,

GreedyGammon is a MS Windows (Win-XP-7/10) backgammon game that has been around for about 20 years, under various different names.
It started out as a FIBS client (3DFiBs/FiBZilla). It then morphed into its own client server configuration as GreedyGammon.
And now once again evolved into a peer to peer type game that does not require a central server to connect and play.

How to setup your computer to play remote games with your friends, is covered in detail here

GreedyGAmmon does not run on Mac, it does not have an iPhone or Android app.
It is an old fashioned Windows Desktop program that you download and install.
Users have reported that it runs on Windows 7 and 10.
It looks good on 1440 or 1920 wide monitor screens. It runs full screen (right click the x to minimize it)

If you are running earlier versions of Windows, it is probably time to upgrade.
