Absolute backgammon lite how to#
If you are just looking for a fun game of backgammon or want to learn how to play better, you won't be disappointed. It has 5 skill levels for all levels of play and about any option/feature you could think of. Works with all versions of OSX including High Sierra and Mojave beta!Ībsolute Backgammon is the best backgammon game created for the Mac. A good program, like a good human player, does not need to cheat.Ready for a fun and instructive game of backgammon?

To be clear, I think this kind of cheating is legitimate as part of the game if it clear that the program is doing that. If a person uses that info to cheat, they are only hurting themselves. The dice rolls (a couple hundred) should be, on request, copied to the clipboard at the outset of the game. I think the lower skill levels of the computer program do not cheat. Some degree of stats are kept, and the bias shows in the number of doubles, and the total dice count. If you adapt to its playing style, you will play very conservatively, because taking chances is unlikely to pay off. On the plus side, being an option, but using cheating as a way to increase wins from a computer program makes playing this program useless to practice for playing against humans. I don't have a problem with this cheating being an option in the configuration of how to play the game. It is common for people to think a program cheats, and I usually dismiss the comments and am very reluctant to even now make this accusation. It has a consistent but not constant bias towards good rolls for the program and poor rolls for the human. This backgammon gets quite an edge by picking the dice to suit the situation. Why can't the dice be set for straight random? Dave Most of the time the computer gets perfect dice for the play. I love the look and sound of an the actual game. I can predict the roll it's gonna get by where my pips are. The game cheats when playing against the computer. It's a shame, if it wasn't for the crooked dice rolls, this would easily be a 5 star game. It doesn't cheat quite as outrageously as the Mac version of the game, only about 70% of the time. I just played in Acey Deucey mode, I rolled one Acey Deucey to the CPU’s 9, and my 14 doubles to CPU’s 25.
