Today’s release is one that we’ve heard a lot of people clamoring for. Compulab has released a backgammon game for the Kindle. I imagine a chess game isn’t far behind!
No reviews yet, but according to the developer:
True Backgammon allows you to play the classic game wherever you take your Kindle.
Said to be 1000 years older than chess, Backgammon is one of the oldest board games known. Gameplay involves a combination of strategy, probability and luck, with you and Kindle taking turns rolling two dice, while moving your pieces in opposite directions and eventually off the board. Each move offers opportunities to hit opponent’s checkers or block fields. Like all good games, the rules themselves are easy to learn and the game comes with full built-in instructions.
Suitable for beginners and advanced players, you can play matches against Kindle at three skill levels. You can also play in landscape or portrait orientation, adjust various options and suspend a game at any time to resume it later.
True Backgammon is on sale for $1.99.
