About this game

★ Top Developer (awarded 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015) ★
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.

I just downloaded this on my phone today. I don't remember how long I've been playing on the computer, but it was years before I upgraded to the 2012 version of the PC one I have. I've never played in a tournament, so I don't know what a couple of the options are for. It would be nice to have help screens there to help me choose. There are complaints about the lack of random rolls, but I'm not finding them any worse than that bear I play against on my PC. 😂

I don't care what the author claims. This game definitely cheats. There are way too many happy coincidences in the CPU's favor for me to believe otherwise. The computer always rolls the exact number it needs to hit you. Once it starts hitting you, it's over. Way too many back to back doubles. When the CPU rolls 9 doubles during the game, the last five in a row bearing off, and you get 0, you know something's not right. Wish I could give it a 0. No more AI Factory for me, this is BS.

A common illusion but nothing wrong with the dice. You can easily prove that the program does not cheat by running the comprehensive tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. 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

I play this almost every day. I like that there's no self imposed pressure to beat that next level. I even used it to teach backgammon to my 7 yo grandson. Also love to 2 player option! BUT lately it has been buggy. Often when I try to play several games, for the second and successive games the button to start play doesn't appear. Would be 5* if that was fixed.

Thank you for your feedback. We have just released an update to fix an intermittent and fairly rare bug where the game enters a frozen state after a full screen ad is shown. We hope this helps.
