ALWAYS READY WHEN YOU ARE - COMPUTER OPPONENT
Whether in the middle of the night or during your coffee break, your computer is always ready for a match. Choose from three difficulty levels to suit your skill level. For those who want to play only the best, a world-class artificial intelligence opponent is available as an in-app purchase. 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 PEOPLE NEAR YOU - GAME BOARD MODE
Imagine you are with friends and want to pass the time with a game? Or are you on the train playing against the computer and one of your fellow commuters turns out to be a backgammon player too? You don't need to carry around a real board with you all the time. Instead, True Backgammon is your board.


CONNECT WITH FRIENDS OR PLAY AGAINST RANDOM OPPONENTS ONLINE - GAME CENTER
Would you rather play against a human than an AI, but there is no opponent in sight? Join the growing community of people playing True Backgammon online every day on an iPad, iPhone, iPod, iMac or MacBook. There's always someone ready to play. And not only can you play with them, you can talk to them using the built-in voice chat.


BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - GAME BOARDS
We didn't just want to make good AI and smooth gameplay, we also wanted to make it look good. No, not just good... we wanted them to look drop dead gorgeous. We found a skilled designer and then tortured him with feedback until we were satisfied. The result is two boards (metal and wood) that look awesome, while offering little visual distraction to keep you focused 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 in decoration and beautiful detail. Which is your favourite?


AAAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOARD, A MULTI-OLYMPIC CHAMPION AI - BEEE GEEEE BLITZ
From time to time there is an Olympic tournament for backgammon programs. We have persuaded the creator of the three-time winner BGBlitz to make his AI available to True Backgammon users. This AI is a world class opponent for those who want to play only the best. And it is a patient tutor. BGBlitz offers a tutor mode that will point out moves that are not optimal and show you better ones. It also gives you statistics, and you can export your current game to the common SGF format to analyse it with other applications like XG2, BGBlitz or gnuBG.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY?
To cut a long story short, we have put a lot of effort into this application, not only in the gameplay, but on every level. If you choose it, we are sure you will not be disappointed.

Nieuw

Plays well, looks good, actually teaches you the game

This is a very nice looking, strong playing Backgammon app. The built-in tutor actually teaches you the game, providing somewhat intimidating statistics for alternative moves. I would like it to be able to play Backgammon variants like Acey Deucey (US and European rules), though, and I was a bit disappointed to find that my in-app purchases didn’t work in family members’ iOS devices.

Thank you very much for your warm review. I checked the AppStore settings right after reading your review, and family sharing is enabled for all inappstore items. So sharing them must work. Please open the inappstore of True Backgammon on the device of your family member, and press the "Restore Purchases" button in the upper right corner. This will enable all items on this device too.

Finally deleting this

Since the latest update the cheating (which was already bad) seems even worse. And I’m not even playing at the difficult levels. The game is filled with statistical improbabilities. I’m not the only one mentioning this.

I have a long-running “infinite” game against the AI and I can’t even resign normally anymore without having to forfeit 2 or 3 points to the AI. What’s the point of these changes? They just ruin the fun even further.

All we want is to play a fair game. No stacked dice and no AI looking ahead at future dice. It doesn’t matter if the AI seems “too easy”. Fairness is most important. No fairness, no fun.

Reactie van ontwikkelaar ,

For the sake of fairness, the app has now been adjusted to follow the official rules during a resign. After all, there is nothing fair about losing a game single that you would lose double (gammon) by giving up just before the end. Users have rightly complained about this, so the new version is now rules compliant... and fair.

One of the best, so not the best !

Some time ago I gave the app only 2 or 3 stars, but since then my opinion dramatically changed because of frequent use of the tutor of the app and as a result thereoff the improvement of my playing skills. The feeling of cheating dices has to do with minor playing skills. Reading about the theory of the randomness of digital dices I am sure the app does not cheat.

Reactie van ontwikkelaar ,

I love your review. It's very rare for a player to actually engage with the material instead of just blaming the app and the dice. You definitely made my day :D
