backgammon-bazaar

Backgammon Bazaar is an original race-and-bear-off board game for Poe. It uses familiar public-domain ideas from dice racing games: roll, move checkers along a lane, block closed stacks, and bear off once every checker reaches home. The presentation, board shape, names, colors, and art direction are intentionally original and legally distinct.

The app uses synced-store for authoritative shared game state and deterministic mutators. Three.js renders a cute market-board scene with raised wooden rails, teal felt, candy-colored checkers, and transparent tap targets aligned over every visible point.

Features

• Tap-first play: roll, tap a checker stack, then tap a highlighted destination.
• Thumb-zone actions: Roll, Bear off, and New stay fixed at the bottom.
• Shared deterministic state: dice, legal moves, scoring, and round resets run through synced-store mutators.
• Mobile-first board: the 12 visible points use a 6-by-2 overlay so each tap target remains at least 44px at 300x500.
• Tested finish flow: unit, UI, Playwright, mobile viewport, canvas, and screenshot tests cover the game surface.
