Backgammon is believed to have started in Persia, eventually finding its way to Britain with the Roman conquest in the 1st century and was played by Emperor Claudius who even had his carriage equipped with a playing board! It became such a gambling mania that it was declared illegal under the Republic.

Playing on the history of the game, there are 6 visually pleasing, rich board designs; Egyptian, Roman, Medieval, Victorian, Modern and Classic.

We also offer, out of the box, two classic game variations: “Old English” and Nackgammon. “Old English” is the most popular game variation in England. Nackgammon is a more challenging variation designed to add more creativity and skill to the game.

With integrated Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer support you can play with your friends over Bluetooth with no network required! You can also play against the computer in either Easy, Medium or Hard difficulties, or play with a friend on a single device.

Rich's Review

Works good and computer player quite intuitive.


Has glitches
mikezah

Often I will find that the game will get its rollin after being hit on the first roll yet if am on the bar I can sit for multiple rolls. It seems to go in cycles as well. Sometimes I am ready to quit since this is for relaxing not getting stressed.


Very enjoyable

I play at the hardest level and don’t always win and it doesn’t appear as if the AI is beating me with incredibly fantastic rolls.
