    An accomplished adaptation of one of history's most timeless board games, Backgammon Blitz just falls short of being the definitive version of the game on account of its lack of cross-save functionality and redundant Blitz mode.

    I signed up for a metacritic account just to warn people to stay away from this pathetic version of backgammon. The AI is so bad even onI signed up for a metacritic account just to warn people to stay away from this pathetic version of backgammon. The AI is so bad even on expert and unless you really luck out then you will win everytime. When you roll the dice it selects the piece you don't want to use then when you finally pick the correct nip will select a place to move not even the worst noob would move to. Multiplayer seems to be invite only so if you have no friends to play with you will have to spam people on the leaderboards to get a game. I regret buying this game and wish I stuck to playing on my web browser instead… Expand
