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.

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.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this game got me so angry. As mentioned several times by other users, from higher difficulty levels, the dices favor the CPU. You can say whatever you want about it being random, but it clearly isn't. And no, it's not the skill with which the CPU moves, but the actual dice values that happen to favor it. And it's a shame, 5 star game, but the dices are pulling it down. Hope you can solve this issue in the future, until then I am teaming with your competition.

ALL backgammon programs are accused of unfair play, but it's very unlikely for any of them. Our game engines are licensed to other companies, used in serious academic research and successfully compete in World Championships where unfair play is not an option! This app has been independently tested and assessed as fair play (aifactory.co.uk/gli.htm)

It's fun, but regardless of the repetitive replies from the developer, it is definitely not random, especially on higher levels. Years of play and recording rolls (yes, I need a life lol) have shown unequivocally that the rolls are in the app's favor. The frustrating thing is that the developer probably sincerely believes otherwise based on whatever "proof" they think they have, and its undoubtedly unintentional, but the stats don't lie. Please find the standard reply below.

We are indeed repetitive, but also sincere and completely right. Just run the easy definitive tests we provide that prove non-cheating. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. 100s have now run these tests and fully accept fair play. You are part of the very very tiny minority that imagine cheating, from the 200k daily players that do not.

What’s new

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