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.

With integrated Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer support you can play with your friends over Bluetooth with no network required! You can also play against the computer in either Easy, Medium or Hard difficulties, or play with a friend on a single device.

- Two ways to play online: Turn-based or live with Game Center

So much fun, would be great to have a chat option! Please add one! (4 stars)
Please add chat!!! 8)

Too small of a board for an iPad. (3 stars)
Far too much wasted space the board should be using. I upgraded from the free version which had a larger board with an ad banner. I expected a board that used all the space it could on my IPad with this paid hd version. Also, the pips blend into the background of several themes instead of being seen easily making it difficult to view.

Love this app! (5 stars)
Play it every nite. Could have one more level of difficulty.
