AI Factory's Backgammon is the best free Backgammon game on Android!

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

Fun game offline, but the harder the difficulty shouldn't mean the CPU just gets all the great dice rolls and you (the player) get all the bad ones. Edit: after reading other reviews as well, other people are going through this too and the developers are adamant the game is "100% fair." Word of advice, if this many people feel something is wrong, look into the problem instead of getting defensive.

There was a recent change in the highest level 7. When I first started playing, I was winning about 2 in 10 games. Over the last few weeks though, I've been winning about 8 of 10 games. Did you change it back to the prior, easier version or have I just figured out the new computers game? It suddenly seems easier than it's prior version. Please get back to me.

I've played hundreds of games at level 7. Although my win percentage is 74%, I've noticed the following: 1. Doubles sort of even out 16.2% vs. 16.1% although the computer has almost 80% of the prized double six rolls. 2. The major...major...bias is in opponents' pieces hit. I've hit him 5958 times..he has hit me a staggering 8450 times. Basically, even at level 7, the computer is a fairly poor player.
