ALWAYS READY WHEN YOU ARE - COMPUTER OPPONENT No matter if it is in the middle of the night or your coffee break, your computer is always ready for a match. Choose from three difficulty levels, according to your skill. For those who only want to play against the best, there is an world class artificial intelligence opponent 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 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. CONNECT WITH FRIENDS OR PLAY AGAINST RANDOM OPPONENTS ONLINE - GAME CENTER You prefer to play against humans rather than an AI, but there is no prospective opponent in sight? Become part of the daily growing community of people who play True Backgammon online on an iPad, iPhone, iPod, iMac or MacBook. There's always someone willing to play a match. And you don't just play with them, you can also talk to them via built-in voice chat. 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 convinced 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.

Reviews of True Backgammon

  • My favorite by a long shot.

    Although I think this is the best, most attractive and easy to play Backgammon I have tried, once in a great while it seems to malfunction, and not let me move for a roll. Very very occaisionally.

    There is one thing that totally bugs me: everytime I load the game, this damned GameCenter dialog box shows up. I will never use game center, and likely will never play an online game with anyone. The Game Center requestor should be optional, not in my face every time I load the game.

    There is really nothing I have tried that I like better. I hate all of the ones with absurdly fancy graphics or themes. I prefer the beauty of the simplicity of this game! Much more realistic, like the physical board game, only more portable. Buy it!!!

    Developer Response

    The GameCenter dialog will be shown by the iOS itself, if a game is capable of offering Game Center functionality. What you can do to avoid this popup window is to logoff from GameCenter in the iOS system settings. Go into Settings, GameCenter and select Logoff. After that, the first 3-5 game starts a dialog appears which asks you to login to GameCenter (which comes from iOS also). But after some starts the requester will not show up any longer, and the popup will also be away.
  • Thumbs down

    To the developer: Why is it that 100% (yes, 100%) of the time, the AI has two or more players in your home region and is fairly blocked, gets double 5’s or 6’s and out they go into their home region. This never fails to happen (never) and it’s extremely frustrating. I could understand once in a while, but every single time??? And you call this random?? How can one expect to win even occasionally if the CPU rolls doubles practically every other roll and picks off your players almost every time. This game infuriating. I don’t mind losing occasionally but this is ridiculous. If I rolled doubles as often (almost every time) as the cpu, I would be winning 95% of the time. This game is ludicrous. Clearly, when you play in advanced mode, the cpu has the advantage. It doesn’t matter how good of a player you are. 99% of the time, the dice rolls favor the cpu, not the player. To those of you who are thinking of purchasing this game, save your money. It’s not worth it/////So I’m playing a match to 9, I’m ahead 8-2. One would think that I could win one game out of 6. But the cpu wins every game because every other roll is a double and every, yes every time, it picks me off and of course I can’t get back in. This made it impossible to win one lousy game. Random dice rolls? NOT!
