For those who only want to play against the best, there is an world class artificial intelligence opponent available as an in-app purchase (more below). Casual play or competitive match? True Backgammon has an opponent for you that is fun to play with or that is a teeth grinding challenge.
PLAY WITH HUMANS NEAR YOU - GAME BOARD MODE Imagine you are together with friends and you want to pass some time with a match? Or you sit on a train, playing against the computer and one of your commuters turns out to be a backgammon player too? You don't need to carry a real board with you all the time. Instead True Backgammon is your board. Play against friends and acquaintances, any time and anywhere.
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - GAME BOARDS We didn't just strive to make a good AI and fluid gameplay, we also made it our mission to make it look good. No, not just good... we wanted to make them look drop dead gorgeous good. We found a skilled designer and then tortured him with feedback until we were satisfied. The result are two boards (metal and wood) which look awesome, while providing little visual distraction to let you focus on your strategy. And for those who love a little distraction, we let the designer run wild with a selection of (optional) fancy boards, rich with decor and beautiful details. Which one is your favorite?
AAAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOARD, A MULTIPLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION AI - BEEE GEEEE BLITZ From time to time there is an olympic tournament for backgammon programs. We managed to convince the maker of the three times winner BGBlitz to make his AI available to the users of True Backgammon. This AI is a world class opponent for those who only want to match up against the best. And it is a patient mentor. BGBlitz offers a tutor mode, that will point out moves that are less than optimal, and it will show better ones. It will also offer you statistics, and you can export your current match into the common sgf format to analyze it with other applications like XG2, BGBlitz or gnuBG.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY? Long story short, we put a lot of effort into this app, not just into the game play, but on every level. If you choose it, we are sure you will not be disappointed.

I really enjoy this game compared to others I've tried. The roll of dices seems to be truly random. One thing I'd like to see is in "From-To" mode to have the pointers slightly larger and brighter. Looking forward to play a lot of games. Update: I've been playing backgammon for over 40 years, and I've never seen an opponent get so many doubles and very often the needed roll of dices. Not so sure this game plays totally random dices.

Very solid piece of software to play backgammon. I am hoping for match review function and analysis in a future (pointing out blunders and so on). Edit: But can we have "after match" review? With arrows that makes it possible to navigate through the game and show blunders? I bought tutor, and it's great, but I think analyzing game step by step afterward have best learning value.

Best backgammon app, with deep analysis available from BG blitz, and active development and improvements regularly in updates.

Great app with BIG BUT! The menu/undo button needs to be separated. I use a pen with my phone and tablet and hitting the button during a match with the wrong action has me swearing at the screen...for some reason, the pen does not work when I hit 'undo'...it goes straight to menu...aaaarrrrggghhh! 😉

It's a nice interface works well. However, if you leave any counters 'open' it will ALWAYS roll against you. I play a lot in real life and the probability is way off compared to real life.

The dice animations are annoying as hell. Please create settings to disable pointless animations. Also the checker animations when starting a new game just takes forever. Please create settings to just turn off all these animations. Also for some reason, sometimes when I click on a checker to move it, it doesn't move. I don't have the issue in other backgammon apps. Analysis features are good, but the app is too annoying to use for me.

Dice algorithm in favor of computer. Gets the rolls it needs. Now only use independent random dice generator. Inserting dice throws manually 👎👎
