Visual refresh of the dice board games. Rules, engine and online play are untouched.

Backgammon / Tapa / Gulbara

• Walnut case with a brass inlay line, two recessed oak fields with wood grain, inlaid maple and dark-walnut points, a bar with brass hinges, recessed trays.
• Checkers have visible thickness, a bevelled rim and a softer contact shadow; borne-off checkers are drawn on edge.

Ludo

• Birch board in a walnut frame, painted corner yards, every field is a dimple joined by the printed track line, four-colour rosette in the centre.
• Lacquered wooden pawns (turned base, cone, collar, ball head) with a soft shadow.
• The dice tray is a felt-lined wooden box.

Dice

• New shared resting die (js/games/dieface.js): ivory body, bevelled edge, engraved pips. It matches the 3D die that lands on it, so there is no visual jump at the end of a throw.
• 3D die: rounder edges, brighter ivory, darker pips.

Service worker cache bumped to evil-v41.

Testing: node tests/run.mjs – 20 passed. Checked in headless Chromium at 1366×800 and 390×800 (rotated board), including a 3D throw. Not checked on a real phone or in an online match.
