★★ Roman Backgammon is the #1 game on both the iPad and iPhone Quality Index Top Ten Games - May 2012 ★★

★★ 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 - Tapscape

★★ Old World Board Game - eoz games has developed a version for iOS in an effort to capture the game at its earliest best. 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.
