David's Backgammon(Mac) Editor's Review

David's Backgammon is a nice and complete game of backgammon.

This is a nice game, because it gives you the possibility to choose the skill level of your overseer. Choosing the skill of your opponent isn't an option when you play with real players, although real players make mistakes. When playing at 'Club Champ' skill level, mistakes won't happen.

The package has good documentation. The application comes with a PDF manual, which describes you the features of this game.

The program is highly customizable. You can change various options within, including the board colors or the game mode. In fact, there are so many options that it's useless for me to make a list here. I would like to invite you to try to discover the beauty of this game by yourself.

I like the feature that allows you to take back moves. This isn't usually allowed, but it can be helpful especially when you are a beginner.

The game provides you the possibility to play against a real opponent or to play against the computer. It also provides you the possibility to play 'Money Sessions' where you can set the wager.

Pluses: it gives you a lot of options and play modes, it features voices so it can look more like a real player, it also features a five level skill mode.

Drawbacks / flaws: sometimes the interface has a weird behavior. The first time when I maximized the window, the whole board disappeared.

In conclusion: this game has a lot of options, it's highly customizable, it's basically everything that you would want from this kind of game.
