Backgammon is a game of skill and strategy; one of the world's classic parlour board games, played for recreation and gambling. Like Mahjong, Backgammon is played in social groups in coffee houses and bars. Historically, variants of this game are believed to have been played in Mesopotamia and Egypt thousands of years ago, then by the Romans and later in India. It also spread to East Asia, but was largely replaced by Xiangqi (Chinese chess). It is now very popular in the West.

Ratings and reviews

It cheats ridiculously. Ever wonder how these backgammon games vary their level of difficulty? Here's how: on the most difficult settings, the computer gives itself doubles much more frequently early and late in the game, when they do the most good. Meanwhile, the probability that you will roll at least one 2 - 1 late in the game, when it does the most harm, is near 100 percent. This game is a joke. Unfortunately, the joke's on you.

I've played this game for a number of years and complained about the computer's doubling strategy and overall skill level. Since the most recent updates, it plays much better with more sensible doubling and playing skill. I'm still winning regularly (3:2) at level 8 and 11 point matches but it's better. It still does some questionable moves and seems all too ready to hit my pieces when that would leave it way too open to being hit but, as I said, way better game experience!.

I've liked this game until recently. I've played for real for over 50 years and never have I seen the multiple doubles hit in the way this game does to skew results either for or against the cpu. It's also become buggy as it stops responding at least 4-5 times a game. Fix the bugs and if the dice is truly meant to be random, then something is buggy with your algorithms. Also, calling your users deluded and sad for observing the same thing is no way to treat people who are funding your endeavors.
