Our Expert Score

86/100

Backgammon HD is a beautifully crafted digital version of one of the world's oldest games. The historical themes—Egyptian, Roman, and Victorian—are visually stunning and give the game a sense of gravitas. It’s clear that the developers at WildCard Classics respect the game's heritage, and that translates into a very high-quality user experience.

The gameplay options are what really shine here. Including variations like 'Old English' and 'Nackgammon' out of the box is a treat for serious players. The 'Move-Assist' feature is a great inclusion for beginners, helping them understand the available moves without being intrusive. Whether you're playing a live match via Game Center or a local Bluetooth game with a friend, the connection is stable and the interface is intuitive.
