101 Okey and Backgammon, on your phone. 33 Yan 2 was built as much for people meeting these two games for the first time as for people who grew up with them — so it teaches first and deals second. LEARN BY PLAYING, NOT BY READING • Both games have an interactive tutorial, and it runs on the real game screen over a prepared hand.
