Backgammon is a board game for two players in which the playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice. A player wins by removing all of his pieces from the board. There are many variants of backgammon, most of which share common traits. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.

Although luck plays an important role, there is a large scope for strategy. With each roll of the dice a player must choose from numerous options for moving his checkers and anticipate possible counter-moves by the opponent. Players may raise the stakes during the game. There is an established repertoire of common tactics and occurrences.

Acey-deucey is a variant of backgammon in which players start with no checkers on the board, and must bear them on at the beginning of the game. The roll of 1-2 is given special consideration, allowing the player, after moving the 1 and the 2, to select any doubles move of his choice. A player also receives an extra turn after a roll of 1-2 or of doubles.

Like chess, backgammon has been studied with great interest by computer scientists. Owing to this research, Advanced Backgammon was created with highly complex learning algorithms, capable of beating world-class human players.

Latest reviews of Advanced Backgammon app for iPhone and iPad

Terrible
Slow and lame!
Waste of $$$
Game is terrible :( graphics are dated and board is hard to use ;(
Not great
This app plays the game well but when the computer is losing it cheats and rolls doubles 3-4 times in a row. Graphics are weak and sometimes it gets stuck.
Okay application but not great
This app is just okay. It is a little buggy, does not seem to have a good undo capability, and the AI is not that great either. I was hoping for a really good AI that would be expert challenging, but the moves it picks are questionable. Also, sometimes it seems to move on its own for me, which I dont like and cant undo.
At last
I finally found the worst app ever. I cant begin to list everything thats wrong with this app other than to say this is my first bad review.
