The last app I play real people on is Backgammon Galaxy. It has a different aesthetic to all the others, and a fairly clearly creative direction that I like. It also has instant analysis after each match at XG 2-ply. You need to pay for better analysis, and you can’t export your games without paying...

Improving at these fundamental skills is more important than anything to do with backgammon. ... In fact I wish Galaxy would show me my average ER over time, like the coin balance or rating. This way I could see if I actually improve. ... It shows the average ER over the last 30 games. At least it d...

My only negative comment about this app is the UI is clunky and takes a while to find all the features and how to get to them. I really should make a video on how to get around on it. ... I highly recommend Backgammon NJ for iOS. You can play ...

If you dont give them money they will make you loose games by controlled rigged dice. Go on this app and you will never enjoy the game again ... I second the recommendation of Backgammon Galaxy, if you want to play online with others.

XG is the undisputed "authority" in the world of competitive backgammon. When people write books, they reference XG's evaluations. It's very reasonably priced, so there's no reason not to go with it if you are serious about devoting time to ...

Peaceful/classic design. On Android. Also, I have a friend on iOS I would like to play with once in a while if you know an app compatible on both android and apple and which allows friendly vs (can be the same or a different app) ... Go to backgammongalaxy.com it’s the most used.

I have tried about 10 so far, each with their pros and cons. Here's what I've tried and liked: -Backgammon Gold -Hardwood Backgammon - A little less flashy, but I like the way it looks and sounds. I also like the profile/leaderboards.

Backgammon is actually a very simple game. You could read the rules in like 2 minutes or watch a YouTube video for 2 minutes to learn it. ... YouTube is a great idea! Thank you! I read the rules, it seems simple enough. I wanted to practice solo so was thinking maybe an app? ... Yeah. You could prob...

The boards look nice, but the players suck, and there are way too many bells and whistles and promotion boxes you have x out of. Backgammon Ace is a decent mobile app for playing against other humans.

If you just want a quick hit against real players but essentially anonymous, I recommend Backgammon Galaxy. Very busy site and you can get a game more or less instantly. ... Need help finding a Mini Pc for myself.

My own record against NJ is around 50% wins; it rates my cube play (2.7 ER) more highly than my checker play (6.6 ER), which is clearly flawed. Comparatively, the “gold standard” analysis engine XG rates me as 15.4 PR for cube and 7.3 for checker play (34ish% win rate). My only alternative suggestio...

There are 7 levels of computer opponents (levels 6 and 7 were just added) and you can also play with friends if you are actually with them (i.e. it has a two player function). There is no internet play. Still, I highly recommend this backgammon program. All the best to you in your search. ... Lord o...
