Backgammon is a game of skill and strategy and one of the world's classic parlour games, played for recreation and as a gambling game. Like Mahjong, this is a game that is played in social groups in coffee houses and bars. Historically variants of this game are believed to have originated in Egypt over 3000 years ago, but was picked up by the Romans and then later to India.

It's OK. The AI is suicidally stupid below the hard level. Action better than most, still sticks me w moves I don't want. Doesn't do Crawford.

Awesome

Good app. But the dice have a remarkable ability to hit the exact numbers the computer needs....

Excellent game. A bit too easy though even on hard it has only managed to beat me once in 19 matches.

Good interface but frustrating to say the least. How can I improve my game when the thing is rigged?

I do not think the game cheats. No resignation, not being able to see the board or count when offered a double, and weak doubling logic are problems.

It's fixed. CPU tools what it needs evey time.

They say it's completely random and make reference to doubles but the actual rolls given to the CPU are more beneficial than your rolls!
