Backgammon Deluxe

Backgammon is one of the oldest board games ever created dating as back as the Persian Empire, around 3000 BC. Seeing many variations as time passed, the game received its first official set of rules in the mid-1960s written by the father of modern backgammon, Prince Alexis Obolensky.

Backgammon is quite easy to learn even if you've never had the chance to see how to play the game. To make it simple for players, Backgammon Deluxe comes with a comprehensive tutorial that will present you the basics of the game in a few easy to understand steps.

Backgammon is played on a unique board with 12 long triangles on each side that form a continuous track which players have to follow from right to left. The goal of the game is to bring all your pieces in the final 6 spaces of the board from where you'll need to bear them off.

This is mostly a game of skill and not a game of chance since the only thing you need to keep in consideration is how to get all your pieces in their final position and remove them from the board. Although a bit of luck never hurts, it finally gets to the skill of each player on how they manage the available moves dictated by the numbers on the dice.

Besides the classic gameplay, Backgammon Deluxe comes with lots of customization options for both the background themes as well as for each players' individual pieces. Thus, you will be able to choose from four different themes and four uniquely colored player pieces according to your needs.

The game also keeps an accurate statistic about all the games and rounds played including how many you won and your current win rate. Other statistics like the number of doubles, gammons, and backgammons are also tracked to offer you plenty of information regarding your game history.

Backgammon Deluxe can be played both against a friend on the same PC or against the AI with four difficulty settings based on how skillful you are.

The colorful themes, pieces customization options, as well as the fun gameplay of this classic board game makes Backgammon Deluxe a must try for any Backgammon fan.
