There are many variations of the game of backgammon, Backgammon Deluxe is one variation. While classical backgammon starts with each player throwing one die to determine who goes first, Backgammon Deluxe allows the human player to start the game by clicking on either die.
Each player then throws, or clicks on a die in turn. A player moves his pieces according to the number on the dice, starting with the number on the left die then that of the right die.
A player may move one piece the whole of their turn, or move seperate pieces. If a player throws a double, meaning the same number on both die, then they move the number shown on one die four times. The player has the option of moving one piece, or seperate pieces.
Our Review: Fairly basic backgammon variant which is not really as deluxe as the title would suggest. It's quite simple and easy to use and the help file is adequate for first timers. There are a few features for gameplay alteration and colour schemes to play with.
