Backgammon is not a game of luck as many perceive, but rather, a strategic visual game of war; in many ways it is as difficult to master as chess.
Although an element of luck is involved, a skilled backgammon player uses intuition, calculations, creativity and psychology to beat the opponent.
The goal in backgamon online is to move all own checkers into the home board and then bear them off (i.e. remove them from the backgammon board). The first backgammon player to remove all of his checkers wins the backgammon game.

Although backgammon is a very old game, it still continues to fascinate its numerous fans around the globe. It is no wonder that nowadays there are many spellings and acronyms of the games name. Backgammon can be referred to as: gammon, backgamon and even baggamon, baggammon and bagamon and bagammon! In Greece and Turkey, backgammon is known as tavla. In Iran and Russia, they call backgammon nardi.
If backgammon were strictly a game of chance, players would only be expected to win on average just about one half of their games. Yet, just like in chess, stronger backgammon players consistently win games against backgammon newbies. There is a lot more skill required in backgammon than just rolling the dice and mindlessly racing checkers around the board!

Do you know the difference between gammon and backgammon in backgammon matches?
A gammon is a completed game of backgammon in which the losing player has not borne off any checkers.
A gammon is also called a double game because the winner receives twice the value of the doubling cube.
A backgammon is a completed game of backgammon in which the losing player has not borne off any checkers and still has one or more checkers on the bar or in the winners home board.

Some bad moments

Installed this on two devices, it soon asks for email conirmation, but that never comes, what does happen is more spam, and the game is no longer working.....welcome to marketing 2010
Table kept freezing, hard to move, tables werent showing in main room. Lots of high ratings so not everyone was having the same problems. Ill give it another chance later. But was too frustrating to keep trying now.
The last couple of days ever time I go in there is a black screen
Must be playing with bots most of the time. Opponents constantly getting doubles and oddly enough if you leave one uncovered opponent just happens to roll in their favor.
One sided luck-fest. No skill needed. If your a serious player, dont waste your time.
I love this game but this version does not record points for any wins or losses. The counter is frozen. I have reloaded the game and rebooted my iphone several times, to no avail. Very frustrating.
