GNU Backgammon (gnubg) plays and analyses backgammon games and matches.
It is currently a work-in-progress. So far it is able to play both independent games and tournament matches, evaluate and roll out positions, tune its own evaluation functions using either TD or supervised training, maintain databases of positions for training and other purposes, and more.
It is driven by a command-line interface, and displays an ASCII rendition of a board on text-only terminals, but also allows the user to play games and manipulate positions with a GTK+ board window where available. It is extensible on platforms which support Guile and/or Python.
It currently plays at about the level of a championship flight tournament player (depending on its parameters and its luck in recent games, it rates at around 2000 on FIBS, the First Internet Backgammon Server -- at its best, it is in the top 5 of over 6000 rated players there) and is gradually improving; it should be somewhat stronger than this when released. Since almost all of the CPU time required during supervised training is spent performing rollouts, and rollouts can easily be performed in parallel, it is hoped that users will be able to pool rollout results and collectively train it to a level stronger than any individual could obtain.

GoGui is a graphical interface to programs that play the game of Go and use the Go Text Protocol (GTP).

It is especially useful for Go program developers, since it allows direct communication with the program by sending any GTP command and to log and save the complete stream of commands to facilitate debugging and reproducing errors.

“Greedy” is a “Monopoly type of game based on 21th century economics”, featuring “several service companies”, “tax evasion opportunities” and several other modifications to the 19th century based economics model we all know and love from the previous board game incarnations. If you like “Monopoly type of games ” you will love “Greedy”. The rules and game dynamics are similar and while it is very easy to play you will find it tricky to master. Fun for 1 to 6 players, with or without computer opponents.
