Description
★ 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.

Challenging, but fun .for an intermediate, or club level player this game may seem to be rigged in terms of dice roll. However, they must remember that they are playing against a computer and not a live player.my experience as a solo player is great. I have not many games, but have enjoyed simply playing the game This game is fun to play! But I have played 3 games and not won 1, your game is not fair!! But then all backgammon games do, the same!!!!! !

Fast, and fair (when Doubling) in the one player mode against the CPU on highest level of difficulty.
★★☆☆☆Ant C· May 6, 2026
Ok game but have to agree with other reviews the dice roll for AI is clearly biased especially after it requests double
★☆☆☆☆Adam Widmeyer· Feb 23, 2026
I'm also delusional. The opponent wins first roll every time and consistently has a higher amount of doubles and higher total of dice values. I know they say it's random but so many others have the same experience. The game has a great aesthetic but playing on level 8 there are too many strange coincidences with the dice. The computer always just happens to get the perfect roll again and again, so it's just not fun to play & makes you a worse player since you can't take any chances.
★☆☆☆☆Kyle· Feb 25, 2026
Extremely favorable dice rolls for cpu. Cpu knows what's coming up next, and I frequently roll snake eyes 3 times in a row. If you have doubling cube on even when game is even, cpu doubles to max . Almost like it knows what's coming...
