![]() This is really useful for absolute beginners. There is an option, which is turned on by default, which highlights the legal moves available to the selected checker. There is no explanation, but that is fine as this is an app not meant to be a high-end analytical tool. It simply highlights the checker and the corresponding point the CPU suggests moving to. There is a helper option, which will suggest a move if you really don’t know what to do. Human would never make this fundamental error. Itįrequently left checkers behind so that you would lose by a gammon or worse. Worth using as it is probably the only flawed feature of this game. We fell behind in the race, but didn’t really want to quit the game. You to give the CPU control of your moves. There is also a manual roll option, so you can roll real-world dice and enter the numbers into the application. This is what the CPU is doing, it makes moves designed to maximise the chance of good rolls for itself and minimise the likelihood of good rolls for its opponent. A good backgammon strategy is all about maximising the probabilities to fall in your favour. This is not evidence of cheating, rather evidence of good backgammon play. It will frustrate you at times as it seemingly makes the exact string of rolls that it needs to hit and re-enter.

September 2021 – Two extra levels have been added with improved AI, there has been no change to the original 5 levels. It’s an honest, portable and fun way to play backgammon on the move. We don’t think this application is pretending to be a replacement for some of the commercially available PC programs. Our research suggests this is one of the weaker opening moves, but it regularly makes this move on level 5. For example, an opening 3-2 move to 13/8. Some of the CPU’s moves, even at the highest level, are surprising. Advanced players would probably not be too challenged even at the highest level. The higher levels are challenging for intermediate players. The first couple of levels are, as expected, really only suitable for beginners. The game has an easy to use interface and the graphics are colourful and sharp. Turning off WiFi during play disables the ads. There is also a brief full-screen ad between games. The ads are fairly unobtrusive, just a small window on the top left corner of the screen. The game is free to download and contains in-game advertisements. At the time of writing it is the highest rated (4.4) offline backgammon application in the Google Play store. There is no online play and an internet connection is not required once the game is installed. There is a single-player mode where you can match yourself against the CPU or a two-player mode that allows you to play against another person. Backgammon Free (by AI Factory) is an app for mobile devices that allows you to play backgammon anywhere. ![]() In this post, we will take a look at an Android app that we at Deluxe Backgammon have been using for quite some time.
