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.

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.

The dice aren't rigged.... However, The AI needs improvement. It plays very poorly, even at level 7. Have had multiple games where the AI chooses to stay inside my home board, when I have a guaranteed 1 roll to finish bearing off, giving me a backgammon, when it has a roll that can prevent this. Same with plays that could save gammons that aren't played. Numerous blunders every game. Cubes behind made primes. I'm not a programmer, and maybe it is hard to get it to play well, but this AI is poor.

Correct. There is a bug in bearing off, which has been fixed but not released yet. Also doubling will be improved. Beyond that the play level is good and it beats rival programs

I enjoy playing, but it really seems like the CPU is out to get you. I'm only on level 4/7 and somehow I can be within 8 pips of winning, and the cpu will get 4 doubles in a row and win the game. levels 1&2 were easy, 3 gave a challenge, and out of 13 games on level 4, I've only beaten the cpu once. still better than others. I've played games where I couldn't get past level 2.

The program has better roll opportunities because it makes good statistical decisions in placing its pieces. That is what strong programs do. The dice are 100% fair. Tests provided by aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm for you to run conclusively prove that the dice throws have not been tampered with. Absurdly all Backgammon programs are accused of cheating
