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

Nothing has changed. Except now, some commercials are literally 5 minutes. I have had this game forever, at least 10 years. Before ALLL of these forced commercials, I would have rated it a 5. Now, the commercials are so often, I give it a 3, and I am on the verge of deleting. I just read other reviews about the ads. They are NOT able to be stopped at 5 seconds. No. You are forced to see every last second. Just terrible.

I had to wonder ... why you wrote an app with loaded dice? Not the simple - more doubles, higher roles. but the app is programmed to dramatically reduce the likelihood of a player getting on the board after capture. I ran the #s: the statistical likelihood of chance (the difference between the game getting on vs the player) is 1 in 10^8. Massive advantage: the odds the player gets on with 2 open pips is actually much less than the odds of the game getting on with one open pip.Why?

Updated 13-MAR-26: Same game; dice favors CPU. 26-Mar-21 I've tried this game periodically. Dice appears to favor CPU. Shame. I have a screen shot saved where the game says that I have only one move when there's a second option. I was forced to make a move that I didn't want to make. The screen shot clearly shows one piece as "green" when there should have been two. This is the first time it cheated like this. Also, the dice does favor the game no matter what the "certified people" say.
