Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games.
Its history can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to archaeological discoveries in Mesopotamia.

It is a two-player game where each player has fifteen pieces (checkers or men) that move between twenty-four triangles (points) according to the roll of two dice.

The objective of the game is to be first to bear off, i.e. move all fifteen checkers off the board.
Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games.

The board consists of a grid with twenty-four intersections or points. Each player has nine pieces, usually colored black and white. Players try to form 'mills' allowing a player to remove an opponent's man from the game. The aim of the game is to reduce the opponent to two pieces, rendering them unable to form any more mills.

Solitaire Word Bingo is a Word Guessing game in combination with
the widely known game of Bingo.
Guess for English words or words in the Dutch Language.
This game has three levels which can be reached
by guessing the correct word and hitting Bingo after
a good guess.
Each level increases the word length starting from 5
charaters up to 7 at the last level.
Improve your High Score by using fewer guesses and
by getting an early Bingo.

This game is a variant of Stack-Up draughts (checkers in American English) but has been implemented with a different set of rules to the game.

It looks like the game of Reversi in which pieces may be placed in any game position be it that they remain where they are in Reversi and do not move.

In Xplosion! pieces move horizontally and vertically and must be stacked in order to win the game eventually.

This game is copyrighted by Hasbro and may not be distributed. I wrote the program in order to further hone my programming skills in VB.Net and for educational purposes only.

When I retired in 2020 I started writing computer games in Microsoft Visual Studio VB.Net for the sole purpose of keeping the old OAP busy.
All these games, with the exception of the game of Scrabble, are donated to the public domain free of charge. Because the games have been written in VB.Net, one needs to have Microsoft Framework 4 installed. Well, these games will tell you if you have not. It is available for download from the official Microsoft website.
Enjoy!
