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.

It's good practice up until level 4. But on level 5 the bias toward the cpu player is profound. Despite the developers' protests, there is just no way the computer would get that many doubles, such better dice rolls, and an opportunistic timing in favor of the cpu that is just laughable. I mean the cheating is so over the top you can't miss it. I'm trying to use level 5 as practice against a rigged game, that's how bad it is.

We have really made it very easy indeed to prove our program does not cheat, as 100s of players have already done so. It uses an industry-standard LCR RNG. Many have said this is the strongest on Google Play, and they are right. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Get someone to help you run these easy and conclusive tests.

This is a great game. Different levels to try. No cheating, and the ads are brief and unobtrusive. Best of all, they're SILENT. No blaring interruptions, blasting everyone nearby. One suggestion; if you could cede a game instead of having to play it til the bitter end... sometimes that would be nice. EDIT; I didn't see the option n to cede the game 🤦🏻

Thanks for input. You can resign a round, but maybe resign game is needed.

It's so ridiculous that at whatever level of the game we choose, the other side, your ridiculous AI, is the best dice player in the world and will play the right number of dice whenever necessary. Rolling the dice should be completely random and not at the disposal of your AI. You can change the level of the game with the AI game skill at low to high levels. Like someone who is new to this game or is at an intermediate level or has more experience. Because this game is not complicated like chess

Rolling the dice is strictly fair, using an industry standard mathematical LCR RNG. Just run the very clear tests we provide that conclusively prove no cheating. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Many say this is the strongest backgammon on Google Play, and they are right. All Backgammon programs are accused of cheating, but its really unlikely any do!
