  • Summary: ?? With Roman Backgammon, eoz may have their best game yet. The game itself looks like a Roman mosaic, and that gives it a lot of character. But the controls aren't based in ancient history; the interface is sleek, easy to use, and even easier to play. Whether you play against the computer?? With Roman Backgammon, eoz may have their best game yet. The game itself looks like a Roman mosaic, and that gives it a lot of character. But the controls aren't based in ancient history; the interface is sleek, easy to use, and even easier to play. Whether you play against the computer or with a friend, it's actually kind of fun to see who can move their stones around the board first. For such a stodgy old game, this app makes it enjoyable again. (Tapscape) ?? Old World Board Game - eoz games has developed a version for iOS in an effort to capture the game at its earliest best. As far as board games for iOS, Roman Backgammon is a nice fit, for beginners and gurus alike. Is a great way to introduce new players to this classic (more like ancient) game of strategy, skill and luck. (App Craver)?? Historical Board Game Fun - great array of features, impressive multi-player options and 5-star value (The iPhone App Review)Roman Backgammon unearths the roots of the classic Backgammon game to deliver a unique experience with slightly different rules and a custom mosaic game board and dice design to take you back in time. Roman Backgammon is a simpler, ancient version of backgammon that is fun for adults and an excellent way to introduce children to the game. It can be played in standard one or two player modes, or you can select an opponent from anywhere in the world using Game Center. Three levels of difficulty ensure a broad range of play and iTunes integration even lets you select music from your own library.In Roman Backgammon, all stones begin off the board. Both players move on and off the board in the same direction. The board does not have the triangular points used in modern backgammon.SO MANY WAYS TO PLAY - Play against the computer (Easy, Medium or Hard) - Pass and Play: play against a friend on your iPad, iPhone or Ipod touch - Game Center: challenge a friend or get matched up against another player (iOSv5+) FEATURES - Stunning ancient mosaic board - Coordinated ebony and ivory dice and stones - Three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium or Hard) - Integrated music capability - choose, play or pause music from your local iTunes library, without exiting the game - Highlight option to show possible moves - User friendly move option: drag and drop or tap and tap - Undo move function (for first move of a turn) - Automatic game save and pause function - Configurable names in multiplayer mode - Selection of stone color (ebony or ivory) PLAY THE ANCIENT VERSION OF BACKGAMMON AS THE ROMANS DID IN THE 1st CENTURY!! PERFECT FOR FAMILY BOARD GAME NIGHT!!Roman Backgammon produced for eoz games llc by Artgig.com… Expand

    Roman Backgammon could do with this potential pitfall fixing but otherwise, it's a worthy title for board game fans to check out.
