## Description

True Backgammon is one of the most advanced backgammon experiences, featuring a powerful AI opponent and multiple play modes. You can challenge the computer at three difficulty levels, play with friends locally or online, and even use BGBlitz as a tutor to highlight better moves and track your progress. The app supports SGF export for analysis and offers a choice of visual boards to keep you focused on strategy.

In addition to strong AI, True Backgammon provides a rich social and visual experience with two main boards (metal and wood) plus decorative options, a 2-player mode on the same device, and online play via Game Center. It’s optimized for iOS and designed to feel responsive and ready for a quick match anytime.
