Product Description:

Ready for a new version of backgammon, made especially for OS X! Try this attractive and easy to use version of the game.

Has many features including 5 different methods to move the pieces including your voice, 5 skill levels and along with the default board, you can use use other attractive boards.

It is in English, French and Italian. German is almost finished.

Uses speech and also works with OS 8 and 9 (requires CarbonLib)

For those concerned that the dice rolls might not be random, the game has an option to save the dice rolls, to be used in the game, to a file in the game folder before the game starts. There is also and option to ask if you want to use your dice rolls or the computer's dice rolls. With these 2 options selected, even the most skeptical can be assured that the game is not cheating. Also, you can check the stats that the game keeps to assure you that the dice rolls are random and not favoring either player.

What's new in this version:

In Classic and OS9/8, there was not enough memory set for the game to draw the board correctly and to show the piece movement. Now okay.

Great application, can't live without it.

I'd wish my computer will recognize hand movements and allow me to pass the dice the natural way, like Wii.
I'd wish that I can hear virtual voices commenting my game in real time.

Meanwhile, it's absolutely fun. It's worth every cent.

Appreciate the 'Suggested Moves' -- as it speeds up the learning curve of someone who hasn't played too much -- yet !!!!

This application seems more user friendly than the more highly recommended BGBlitz to me !!

Even though I have just found this version, I started playing David's backgammon back when that was actually what it was called. That was ages ago and this new version is far superior. It is easy to work with and you can actually be challenged in the game. It is fun to play and with the different board setups you can vary your viewing pleasure.

I am very pleased to have this on my computer once again.
