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.

Ratings and Reviews
Backgammon
My only complaint is that the "random" dice roll doesn't really seem to be random.
There is a quirk that randomly will not allow legal moves and forces me to make moves that will give the computer a distinct disadvantage
True to the real game, but adds won't close in the game.
I have only played Single Player so far. It is true to the real game. Not sure how the other Multi Player game options work yet. Played an add for yet another stupid slot machine game, to get a reward, and there is no "X" in the corner to close it after it played. The only option presented is to install the stupid slot machine game, or replay the add. I closed the screen to try to get rid of it, but when I open the game again the same add appears, and I can't get back to the game. Won't be playing any adds in the game again, if I can ever get back to the game. Will probably have to shut down the iPad and start it again. Not happy.
