About this game

Backgammon 5.0 is a computerized version of the ancient board game combining luck and strategy: both sides lay out their pieces on the game board, roll the dice in turn, make their moves accordingly, and attempt to win by clearing all checkers from the game board before the opponent does. This version supports a single human player against the computer opponent, in ten difficulty levels.

Three basic variants are available (No Betting, Match Play and Standard), with optional features such as replay, automatic play, advice, undo (limited to a single move) and external dice (roll them yourself and input the results); games can be saved to disk and continued later. An in-game help system is also included.
