3Medium Quality Game  Dec 08, 2007
By Steve Fleischer
This game is OK, but it is pretty easy to beat. The computer opponent accepts doubles when the game is almost hopeless for it, making it easy to rack up points in a match. And it plays very conservative on some moves, and then stupidly aggressive on others. With all that said, I still play it and have fun. But I am still looking for a more challenging game, that plays at a very high level.

5Great Backgammon PC game  Aug 29, 2007
By Kenneth E. Nelson
Easy to install and play. We've had great family time playing the game. One person against the computer,or with partner. The program gives suggestions on possible moves, easy to follow dirrections and loads of fun.

2Dice rolls not random.  Dec 27, 2011
By R. Swango "toroggo"
This game has three difficulty levels, and after playing this game a lot, I have the opinion that the only thing making it more difficult at the higher two levels is that the dice rolls are not truly random and of course, it does not make a mistake. In a human to human backgammon game on the kitchen table, the rolls are going to be random and each human is going to make a few errors. This is a good way to get some practice if you are by yourself, but at the higher levels quickly becomes frustrating to win 1:10 and I do not think is worth more than $10. with shipping.

4ALL TIME GREAT  Aug 17, 2011
By j.sundown "j sundown"

played all over the world . not like the old games with all leather and larger in size

3Better go for the upgrade  Nov 16, 2009
By V. Cariaga
I bought the version of the game without the upgrade. It's way too easy to beat. It's like playing against someone who has absolutely no clue how about backgammon. I wonder if the programmers even know how to play backgammon. The only way to lose is if the opponent gets lucky and outrolls you. And even then, all you have to do is hang around long enough and the opponent eventually will leave himself open. I'm going to go for the upgrade when I get the money together. Hopefully the upgrade will include opponents that know basic backgammon strategy. Beyond that, the background music is kinda cool in an Olde English kind of way and the voices on the audio are unintentionally hilarious. They'll say "jolly good there" even when you make a lousy move.
