Instead True Backgammon is your board. Play against friends and acquaintances, any time and anywhere.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - GAME BOARDS We didn't just strive to make a good AI and fluid gameplay, we also made it our mission to make it look good. No, not just good... we wanted to make them look drop dead gorgeous good. We found a skilled designer and then tortured him with feedback until we were satisfied. The result are two boards (metal and wood) which look awesome, while providing little visual distraction to let you focus on your strategy. And for those who love a little distraction, we let the designer run wild with a selection of (optional) fancy boards, rich with decor and beautiful details. Which one is your favorite? AAAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOARD, A MULTIPLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION AI - BEEE GEEEE BLITZ From time to time there is an olympic tournament for backgammon programs. We managed to convince the maker of the three times winner BGBlitz to make his AI available to the users of True Backgammon. This AI is a world class opponent for those who only want to match up against the best. And it is a patient mentor. BGBlitz offers a tutor mode, that will point out moves that are less than optimal, and it will show better ones. WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY? Long story short, we put a lot of effort into this app, not just into the game play, but on every level. If you choose it, we are sure you will not be disappointed.

    Question: If the dice are truly random, why does the first roll never end in a tie? Still waiting for an answer. My answer is the dice are not random. The higher the level you play, the bigger disparity in the rolls. At BB2, the computer rolls at least 4 x the number of doubles the player gets. If you trap the computer with only one move to get out, they always seem to roll it, especially doubles, flipping the game quickly. The higher the level of computer play, the more it seems the computer is just programmed to win. When you on trapped in your opponent’s board, good luck rolling a number to get out until the game has flipped. Please spare me the standard response about random dice and check the rolls coming up.

    This backgammon is just like the rest of them…laughably predictable dice rolls to the advantage of the computer. If you leave any uncovered, they will get you. If they leave any uncovered, you won’t get them and their next roll will neatly match up so they’re covered. If they get you out in the second half of the game, there is almost zero percent chance you will roll anything to get back in. The computer gets back in on the first or second roll. What’s even funnier is that 9/10 times, you’ll get a high doubles after these little entrapments, after the computer is well on their way to bearing off. Please—just give us randomized dice rolls. Edit (after getting the developers canned response): The AI knows the upcoming dice rolls too. Which is why they know exactly which spaces to leave open because they know the human will not roll the correct dice. This happens often: the AI leaves multiple marks open (even in home) and my dice sold never allow me to hit them. The only explanation is ...

    I’ve been playing this version for years and consistently winning matches, either 100 points and the more statistically significant 1000 pointers. I generally win between 65% to 70% of the points. The programmer is definitely an expert player and his/her expertise is reflected in the strategies the program employs. The previous version had a definite weakness with regard to when it would accept a double and it was possible to trick it into multiple doubles when it did not have the advantage. This problem was eliminated entirely. That said, the program still has a weakness that you can exploit for extra points. It will not accept a double in most cases when you have a pip count of 8 in your favor. That said, the programmer’s expertise is so good that if you have to play expertly and avoid mistakes. In the past I’ve read reviews where the reviewer felt the game cheats. Yes, it looks that way sometimes but the law of large numbers prevails and in the end the dice favor neither side.

    With its history and credentials, this game should be dominating the multimillion dollar backgammon app community. Instead, it’s a mess. Online play against random opponents does not work. No matches. It uses Game Center which is the old way of doing things and I have yet to be matched with one opponent. Standardized backgammon rankings are absent. No customer support option is offered. With all these deficits, this is one of the only apps which charges a fee to download. What is more is that it then asks you to make in-app purchases on top of the original cost. What a shame! Were this app offered for free, it would achieve the critical mass of members needed to have online matches. Then it could charge for extras — like standardized backgammon rankings, and all the frills on which other games are making a killing. Or ... just license out your credentials to one of the companies that is doing this right. I’m sure this is all well-intentioned but it is clear there is no sense of how to ...
