APPLICATION DESCRIPTION
True BackGammon on the iPad… a dream comes true!
*** Introductory offer to celebrate the availability of the iPad ***
*** Thank you so much for making True Backgammon HD the best selling Backgammon especially created for the iPad. Dice Games #1 in more than 20 countries. ***
We are proud to offer our latest creation: a wonderful Backgammon game, created specifically for the iPad.
True Backgammon is a fully featured Backgammon game, made to support all of the new possibilities which the iPad device offers. The large touch screen makes it possible to play Backgammon by dragging and dropping the checkers, like on a real board. You can even move two checkers at once, using two fingers, or double tap a stone if only one destination point is possible.
Play a full match up to 15 points, against the computer or against a friend. Choose playing with or without doubling cube, select light or dark checkers, or play in clockwise or counter clockwise direction. In other words, you choose how you want to play.
Believe us, the game experience is as close to playing on a real backgammon board as it could get. It is amazing!
However, this is version 1.0 of True Backgammon, so this is just the beginning of the backgammon journey. We love to hear your ideas, suggestions (and even possible bug reports) and promise to work hard to make True Backgammon the best Backgammon for the iPad.
Feel free to write a review too, but please be aware that we will not be able to answer, contact or help you based on reviews alone, so if you like to hear back from us, please send an email.
