About this game

ā˜… Top Developer (awarded 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015) ā˜…
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.

Leaving a 2-star rating for my 4th review. My most recent game, the computer and I combined for 19 doubles rolled. This never happens in real play. And all but one time I guessed what the computer was going to roll to either put itself in a better position, put my pieces on the bar, or have an amazing come from behind victory. And if it asks for a double- it absolutely WILL roll several big number doubles and 5/6, 4/6,4/5 rolls for the win. Not random.

It is a common illusion but really no cheating. Long term doubles are even. You can easily prove that the program is fair by running the comprehensive tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Absurdly, all Backgammon programs are accused of cheating, even though most are much weaker . Very unlikely that any cheat!

I used to love this game. However, recently, the play has changed. Now, the dice rolls always seem to result in the exact move needed by the computer to bar my pieces. Also, I have had on several occasions all of my pieces on my inner table with many of the computer pieces there as well, only to not receive the needed tools and the computer to have several doubles in a row and win. I used to find this the most equitable backgammon app. Now, it is as faulty and biased as the rest.

This game would be great, however, when playing on the highest level, the makers of the game have decided that the computer will roll every possible 'perfect' roll in order to cover, get out of trouble or hit one of your open chips. Toward the end the computer rolls doubles for itself like you wouldn't believe...out of control doubles, all for the benefit of the computer. Sad.

Many players that accused us of cheating ran the tests and now acknowledge fair play. Absurdly, all Backgammon programs are accused of cheating... but very unlikely any do
