Backgammon Deluxe is a computer version of this old board game. The game of Backgammon is one of the oldest two-player games.
To be honest, I didn't know how to play Backgammon before downloading this game. There is a very complete instructions page that thoroughly describes the game and how to play it. I like this about EnsenaSoft's games. They are all very well designed and they all come with help.
From the options menu, you can enable move assistance and the doubling cube, which is another way in which the game can get more challenging. You can also set the difficulty of the CPU player. There are three available options: easy, medium and hard.
In conclusion, Backgammon Deluxe is a nice game that is relatively easy to play and it looks very good. There is a free version that you can download to test the game before deciding whether to buy it.
Pros
- Multiple difficulty modes
- Assisted gameplay feature
- Great visual design
Cons
- Repetitive gameplay actions
This game has always been hard for me to handle. But the PC version helped a lot. I began to enjoy the game.
The rules of this game have always been hard for me to understand and remember. The electronic versions allow you to practice the game and learn the rules before playing with a real opponent. Still, learning from a real person is a better idea anyway: they might explain your mistakes to you.
