The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A quiet, no-frills digital board for playing backgammon at your own pace, with friends or alone.

What players say

Players say Boxcars is a straightforward, free backgammon client with a clean interface and optional 3D graphics. It works on the Steam Deck, has an AI that can be challenging on higher levels, and offers both online and offline play without requiring registration. Some players feel the dice rolls produce doubles too often.
