David's Backgammon ReviewSerious Backgammon game - Version: 5.8.5, 12/2/2009 10:13AM PST

The game plays fairly well. I am getting used to it still. The synthesized voices are still a tad annoying, but the quality of the game in terms of challenging the user is excellent. I suspect I am still accepting doubles that I shouldn't, but that's part of the learning curve and par for the course.

I take David Byrem's word for it that the dice rolls are random. The damned game does seem to be luckier than me in recent games, though.

I consider myself a pretty good backgammon player, played many years in tournaments and with hi regarded players.
I've been using this app for 8 or 9 years and have nothing but praise for it.
Great support, David is always on top of everything with quick response for any question.
I highly recommend.

I have paid for 2 other Backgammon Games for the Mac. Both were sold as software at the Eugene Mac Store.

Both were high gloss graphics fancy games that really were all packaging and no depth of play or feature set. They were the equivalent of the kind of pretty girl who is a clothes-hanger and "all haircut".

David's Backgammon, which I have used since Mac OS 9, maybe even mac OS 7, (I can't recall all that far back!), is a game for the gal or guy who wants a well rounded game that's all about the game.
