What Makes Backgammon V+, fun dice game Stand Out
Relieve boredom, have fun and exercise your mind all at the same time with the 2026 Edition of this highly entertaining Backgammon dice game.
Backgammon has been played throughout the world for thousands of years. ZingMagic's critically acclaimed version of Backgammon was one of the first Backgammon games for iOS.
In essence Backgammon is a simple race game. The object is to move the pieces around the board towards your inner table. Once all 15 of your pieces have arrived in the inner table, they can be removed from the board. The first player to remove all his pieces from the board is the winner. Although game play is highly skilful, moves rely on the roll of the dice introducing an element of luck.
A common complaint against all Backgammon dice games is that it cheats. So does it cheat? absolutely not, what would be the point? Still don’t believe us then roll your own dice outside the game and enter those values to play against any of the game levels. Backgammon also keeps track of all the dice rolls so you can check on the game yourself.
Back gammon is also known as narde, tavli, gammon, nardi, shesh besh! or tavla.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
App uses dice rolls to adjust difficulty level, rolls are not random. Very irritating. App does have decent interface.
Uninstalling after playing two games on our iphone. This app consistently freezes and requires a restart if you accidentally touch and drag the top of the screen as you select a chip.
We love this game and purchased several years ago because we dont want to see ads. Suddenly an ad banner is constantly running on the bottom of our screen. Why pay for it if we have to have to put up with distracting ads anyway.
We are a very seasoned backgammon player, and we know about AI rigging. In expert mode, the game will give you rolls that are almost always disadvantageous, giving the computer a consistently unfair advantage. Even when you compensate for the rolls by attempting to avoid the trap it sets for you, it continues to feed you the only roll that exposes you. Backgammon is a great game, but just understand that the game is set against you, giving the computer a consistent advantage. Might want to evaluate the creator of the game and their country of origin for clues "why" they do this.
Just like any AI app this one hates to lose. Seems like every time the game NEEDS a certain roll, it gets it. Now the app is crashing or locking up. No, our iPad is fine. Thanks, but no thanks. This app is shaky at best.
We have 40+ years experience playing backgammon. This game is rigged against human players. Latest version crashes constantly. If you are looking for a decent game of backgammon, keep looking. Maybe the next version.
Won't load, immediately crashes.
This app is…we mean what can we say but Great!!!…Amazing!!!…..Outstanding!!!!….Absolutely Astonishing!!!!….who wouldnt want to get this app! Anyone who is anyone has to get this app…they wil go crazy playingit.
Simple, yet addicting game. 5/5.
We rarely download game apps as they all come with million ads and distractions. This one is far better and works smoothly, no time lags. So recommend for it.
We have always loved this game even when we were a kid.
Never knew how to play but it was easy to learn with this app.
This game takes us back to our childhood. We love it.
We've always loved backgammon and this was fun.
Brings back memories playing this game with our father. Love it.
We have found our new addiction. Great game.
We don't know how to play but app looks cool.
This game definitely helps make the game of backgammon fun.
Glad there is finally a backgammon app we used to play this game a lot as a kid.
One of the best we've seen. Pretty graphics.
Pretty fun, and it kept us entertained for a short time being. Overall 5 stars :).
If you are a backgammon fan you will live this app hours of fun for all! Download this amazing app NOW.
We think it's a good little backgammon app. It's free and that's something right.
Nice to see a classic board game migrate to the iOS age.
It's free and that's cool! We love gambling apps.
Really enjoying playing. However, at the expert level, the computer cheats – crappy rolls for us, great for it. We find the difficult level great – fair "statistical" rolls, however, some of its plays lack any strategy.
Love backgammon. This one is pretty cool.
Well made app, good if u like the game.
Interface was nice but it needs to teach people how to play.
The game is good, but there are some Small things that need to be worked out. Other than that, it's a good app.
It's a good app, but Is not our favorite game.
It's good well made classic board game.
We're new on this game an there is no tutorial.
It's not our favorite kind of game but our brother loves it.
The graphics are ok and it's a fun game to play.
There are some glitches but they're not that bad.
Fun game but computer wins too much.
The very few features make for a simple and fast game, make of it what you will. No tutorial.
We like this app but we never really understood backgammon we think we'll figure it out though.
Too easy for comp to win. It's like he rigs the dice at the end.
There are some glitches but overall not bad.
Has very smooth gameplay, quick speed. Not all the bells and whistles but you don't need that anyway.
This game is fun with it's cool sound effects. We love the different colors and backgrounds you can change the board too. There's no place in the game to get help with the game. We haven't experienced any glitches yet.
Good game with good graphic! Enjoy it.
This app is pretty cool for someone who likes backgammon, though the AI happens to be extremely lucky with its dice rolls.
This is really one of the better backgammon apps out there. The interface is pleasing and the game runs smoothly. The only complaint we have with this is that the computer seems a little bit too lucky at times. Besides that, we highly recommend this app.
This is a well-designed backgammon game. There is a sound effect that's a little jarring but other than that, it's well done.
Game lovely we were waiting for such game.
We have never cared for backgammon but the app is simple to use and works great.
We hadn't played this game in a long time. The app itself works great, but the game can be boring.
