Backgammon with Buddies lets you play backgammon with your friends whether they’re nearby or far away. You can open the app and play on your phone or tablet, just as you would with a board. It’s also possible to play with other players over Game Center or against your friends through the Messages app, by sending the board back and forth after every turn. If you don’t know the rules, the app also contains a small guide to help you get started and a computer-controlled opponent that you can test your understanding against. Backgammon with Buddies also supports a wide range of accessibility features, such as Dynamic Type, reduced transparency, VoiceOver and custom rotors. This means that you can play Backgammon with all your buddies, not just those who can see or touch the board. — Features • Beautifully designed board with rich wood textures and felt lining • An integrated Messages app experience to play with far away friends • Remote play against other players over Game Center • Highly accessible with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type • A lightweight app that respects your privacy

Good game

I really appreciate the accessibility functionality built into this game. Excellent job describing the board and checker location. The black checkers do not contrast well enough with the board for me to see them when located on the dark colored sections. Can you add a different colored checker or make the darker section of the board lighter colored so the pieces stand out more? The game tells you that you won in player vs player but does not tell you when you lose. I noticed that against the CPU it does make that clear. The voiceover announcing the opponents move gets cut off every time so you have to cycle through the entire board to determine what happened. This is a good game that is well designed and with a few tweaks would be a five star app.

Great game, and accessible to VoiceOver users. However, it would be more exciting with game sounds.

Great game, well worth the $3 to not see ads or pop-ups. Nothing fancy or complex. Just good old-fashioned backgammon the way it was intended!The two things I would like to see would be a scoreboard for games won/lost with the CPU and online players. Also would like to see an option to change the color of the board & pips/chips/nips, just to change things up.Other than that, I really enjoy the game (something to do while watching TV or waiting on something). Highly recommended!

This is a great adaptation of the classic game, and a great example of what can be done in terms of Voiceover support among other accessibility features to boot! I can't tell you how thrilling it was to be able to play this game after 20 or so years of having no chance, all while chatting with my opponent in the messages window!

Fixed in this release: • Starting a CPU game with the CPU as the starting player didn't work correctly. This release also builds upon the following features released in version 3.0: • Play against the CPU opponent to test your understanding of the backgammon rules. • Remote play against other Game Center players. • Support for multiple windows on iPadOS 13 and later.
