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.

There is much more to this app than the game itself. The added functionality tonreview the game played. The stats. Really am excelent level of app development. And the addverts, unlike some are far from being intrusive or off putting. Its Nice to play against a sometimes aggressive play much better than others tried. Only at level 6. I removed the concerns regards doubles..30 games later, the ai has still had more doubles although negligible.im sure this will average out over time.

Thank you. Indeed after millions of games doubles are 50/50. You can also helpfully conclusively prove 100% fair dice by running the comprehensive tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Sadly all Backgammon programs are accused of not playing fair, but almost certainly none do!

Good game but higher level means opponent always have the right number every single time which means you can only play safe moves. I know AI factory I can run your test to "prove" that your dice rolls are fair but it's funny that every time I need good dice to slow the opponent it's rarely pays out but for the opponent it always does. Really stupid and I stopped playing. I play cribbage instead.

The apparent high luck reflects a good statistical strategy, not cheating. Many users say this is the strongest backgammon on Google Play, and they are right. You can easily prove the dice are fair by running the comprehensive tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Note all Backgammon programs are accused of cheating, but unlikely any do

This game cheats so bad using the dice at the high level that is ridiculous. And no, is not better prediction, is cheating. When you have advantage it gives 3 high doubles and beats you. If you have one piece uncovered ALWAYS the cpu takes it out at the first dice roll. If you try to enter back in the game it takes 4-5 dice rolls to enter in one of the 3-4 empty slots. The cpu enters the first time even there is only one empty slot in your house. Uninstalling and never want to hear again about.

In defence of our games, none of them cheat. Backgammon is a game of skill as well as luck so top cpu player uses an advanced knowledge of probability to choose moves to cover all roll possibilities (see www.aifactory.co.uk/backgammon.htm for more info). Lucky streaks may happen at any time precisely because dice rolls are random.

What’s new

From user requests, Cpu will now be able to double beyond the point that this does not impact win/loss.
