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.

Great game but I have to agree that something odd is going on when I play level 7. It appears that it is not a matter of the computer being more skillful, but rather the odds are in its favor. Dice rolls are constantly what it needs and it gets out much easier than I ever do, especially when only one slot is open. I find myself cursing at my phone way too often.

An illusion I'm afraid. The program makes good statistical decisions in placing its pieces. That is what strong programs do. Its dice are 100% fair. The tests provided in aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm allow you to conclusively prove that the dice throws have not been tampered with. Absurdly all Backgammon programs are accused of cheating. Unlikely any do.

This game level 7 is unwinnable. Sure you do occasionally but computer is rigged to always hit, never get hit, doubles frequently while pairing off, never stays more then twice on bar and you can be up there at least 5 or 6 rolls. These cases are the majority of course. Not everytime but way more then usual. You almost have to play unorthodox to compete, you make the perfect logical move and the computer always beats you then. Very frustrating

If you keep playing you will eventually hit "impossible" sequences. You can see the same by just endlessly re-throwing real dice. You can easily and conclusively prove non-cheating by running the tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. All Backgammon programs are accused of cheating, but very unlikely any do.

The app is good, but the AI is garbage. I play to 15 points, and It's impossible to lose a match. I have played hundreds of matches and not lost once, with the AI rarely getting more than 5-6 points out of 15. It is very bad at doubling and makes ludicrous mistakes like gifting you backgammons by not clearing the far side despite able to. The developers keep saying they improved the AI with every update but they can't even fix this most egregious behavior.

We need to improve doubling, acknowledged, and are working on that right now. We have had quite a number of reviews indicating its the strongest on Google Play, but it still needs to be stronger.

What's new

Update to correct oversight in last version, that would have impacted level 7.
