Backgammon is believed to have started in Persia, eventually finding its way to Britain with the Roman conquest in the 1st century and was played by Emperor Claudius who even had his carriage equipped with a playing board! It became such a gambling mania that it was declared illegal under the Republic.
Playing on the history of the game, there are 6 visually pleasing, rich board designs; Egyptian, Roman, Medieval, Victorian, Modern and Classic.
We also offer, out of the box, two classic game variations: “Old English” and Nackgammon. “Old English” is the most popular game variation in England. Nackgammon is a more challenging variation designed to add more creativity and skill to the game.

Patrick Hart
Excellent game, good challenge
My go to
Backgammon is my go to whenever I have a wait for anything.
Great game!
Especially enjoy playing with friends.
Good way to pass the time!
I enjoy this game for those times when I need something to do while I pass the time whenever I have a wait - long or short! I enjoy it so much that sometimes I play even if I am not waiting! It has become part of my daily rotation.
The Computer Is Unconscious At Times
This version is pretty good. However the computer comes up with the exact rolls needed nearly every time after it opens and is able to cover on the next roll. You play open however and you get smacked nearly everytime. Back the computer up with 4 or so guys still not off the home spot an see how “unconscious” the computer’s rolls become. Another thing, when it is behind an you have all your players in the computer makes the most unlikely moves. Especially when it rolls an ace/duce. Game play needs to be more realistic.
Relaxing!
Great way to relax.
