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.

Nothing has changed. Except now, some commercials are literally 5 minutes. I have had this game forever, at least 10 years. Before ALLL of these forced commercials, I would have rated it a 5. Now, the commercials are so often, I give it a 3, and I am on the verge of deleting. I just read other reviews about the ads. They are NOT able to be stopped at 5 seconds. No. You are forced to see every last second. Just terrible.

Apologies about the ads, which pay for the app development, but all can be bypassed either using the back key or an "x" or equivalent. If you find one that cannot be bypassed inside 10 secs then post details to support@aifactory.co.uk. The alternative is the purchase of Pro version, gives you lifetime ad-free for about the cost of a cup of coffee

I have been playing this game (pro version) for a long time & I enjoyed it a lot. I was happy to see that difficulty level 8 was added, since I am an experienced player. Nevertheless, I have the impression that the suitable dice (for the AI) always come at level 8 at the right time, or that my dice seem to be less good when I am in an attack position. The AI plays aggressively and I like that, but the AI seems to have a lot of luck in many situations. Dev team: please double check the AI model.

It has been checked by us and GLI in great depth. The dice use an industry standard LCR RNG used throughout the gaming industry. You can run our tests to prove fair dice: See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. This is common to all backgammon programs who are all accused of cheating. Do they all cheat? Or maybe none? It's the latter.

The AI is one of the worst. Early in the game you know already if you are suppose to win or lose. It is so frustrating when the AI gets all the dices it needs and you won't. Also when you get kicked out I counted more then 10 times of tossing dices without the numbers that would get me in again. Meanwhile the AI always gets in after two throws. There have been rounds where I just waited and waited for me to get in meanwhile the AI played alone. This app is absolute garbage. Save your time.

The program only gets the throws it want because it plays a strong statistical game. Note you can easily prove our program does not have defective dice or that it cheats, by running the easy tests we provide. See aifactory.co.uk/bg.htm. Absurdly all Backgammon programs are accused of using defective dice or cheating, but almost certainly none do.
