One shared game

Blind and sighted players, together at the same board.

Many online backgammon boards are rendered primarily as graphics or canvas content. Without a carefully designed semantic interface, a screen reader cannot identify the points, checkers, dice, or legal destinations.

JustGammon builds accessibility into the board itself. Blind players can explore and operate the same game state that sighted players see visually—there is no separate audio-only game and no need for another person to describe the board.

Your best way to play backgammon together.

  • The same online match and game state

  • Complete keyboard and touch-screen-reader control

Accessibility is part of the game

The same board. More ways to use it.

JustGammon does not separate accessible play from the main experience. Sighted, blind, and low-vision players share the same game, state, and interaction model.

Read the accessibility guide
  • JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, and standard browser navigation
  • Direct keyboard control with a two-dimensional virtual board cursor
  • Touch exploration that follows the visual board on mobile
  • Spoken and positional sound feedback for game information
  • Configurable board themes, labels, sounds, and reduced animation

Can blind and sighted players play backgammon together online?

Yes. JustGammon lets blind and sighted players share the same online match. Sighted players use the graphical board, while screen-reader users can explore every board position and play with standard controls or complete keyboard navigation.
