Our Expert Score

84/100

This version of Backgammon is exactly what a classic board game app should be: clean, fast, and fair. The developer clearly prioritized the 'feel' of the game—the dice rolls have a satisfying sound, and the checkers move with a snap that mimics real play. For a game that is thousands of years old, the UI feels surprisingly modern and uncluttered.

The AI difficulty is well-tuned; 'Easy' is great for beginners learning the ropes, while 'Hard' actually uses proper probability strategies that will challenge veteran players. The online matchmaking is snappy, and I rarely encountered any lag. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-nonsense way to play one of the world's best strategy games, this is the app to get.

How to play Backgammon:

- Classic Backgammon is a logic puzzle for two, played on a board of 24 triangles called points.

- Each player sits on the opposite sides of the board with 15 checkers, black or white.

- To start the game, players take turns and roll the dice.

- Players move pieces based on the numbers rolled. For example, if you roll 2 and 5, you can move one piece 2 points and another one 5 points. Alternatively, you can move one piece 7 points.

- Once all of a player’s pieces are in his or her “home”, that player may begin removing pieces off of the board.

- A player wins once all of their pieces are removed from the board.

A few more things to know:

- Rolling two of the same number allows you to move 4 times. For example, for a roll of 4 and 4, you can move a total of 16 points, although each piece must move 4 points at a time.

- You cannot move a piece to a point that is occupied by 2 or more of your opponent’s pieces

- If you move a piece to a point with only 1 of your opponent’s pieces on it, the rival’s piece is removed from the board and placed on the middle partition.

Simple and intuitive design lets you focus on the gameplay and master your skills. Start your first round, challenge yourself and keep your brain active!
