"I've played Backgammon games on various mobile platforms over the years and I have to admit that ArtDeco Backgammon 3D is the best one I've ever seen. The sleek graphics and fluid animation make for a cool gaming experience that can be found in no other app of this genre." - user review (5/5 stars)

Very enjoyable, although basic. Two complaints. It makes too many wild mistakes. Sometimes, at the very end, it won’t let me make a move.
Almost perfect.

Please update for all screen resolutions, iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation) is missing. Would be nice if doubling cube was an option and game play a bit more challenging.
Nice app

Very good app, the reason why I given it a three star due the fact there’s no online play.

Baby like
I recently learned how to play this game. But noticed that when playing one player they lead to give doubles more to the game player. In this last game the game player had 4 doubles and I only had one double. Is not the same when playing a real game that you see the dice fall.
Does not work with two player p2p

Wished it worked properly so I could show my wife how to play good like me.
Frustrating

Having played this game much more, now, I’ve found that the hardest setting makes insupportable moves, and then gets the dice to cover the horrible moves. Men often are left open where they shouldn’t be; men are not taken off the board as quickly as an astute opponent would remove them, and there are many other basic errors as well. It’s like playing against a child who hasn’t yet mastered the game, but who wins due to the luck of the dice. It’s annoying.
quite enjoyable

The option to invite another Game Center player doesn’t work. We can send and receive the invitation. However the game never starts and there is nowhere to accept the invitation!
