It is now possible to download a backgammon game without paying any additional fees. One of the big advantages of playing backgammon by computer is that you don't have to set up the board every time and there is no possibility of losing the dice. Another big advantage is that certain programs will make suggestions or allow you to replay the roll, which is always nice.

As with most things: "It's not what you do, it's who you do it with". Playing on Free Backgammon sites allows you to come into contact with literally tens of thousands of people and this provides you the opportunity not only to find suitable partners at your level of play, but to make new friends all over the word. The only drawback is that there are many beautiful backgammon sets and when you play by computer a lot of the aesthetics of the game are lost, not to mention the personal touch of sitting in the same room with another human being. That being said, some computer sites are very enjoyable and every year they get better and better.

Naturally, every word has a double meaning and when one uses the term: "Free Backgammon" usually the connotation is that one is not required to gamble for money. The question as to whether or not one can enjoy playing backgammon, or playing cards, without gambling money is not really worth discussing: It's a matter of personal choice. As far as the rules are concerned the game is the same: the same board, the same dice and the same checkers. There are some variations of the basic backgammon game, but these variations have nothing to do with whether or not the game is played for money. The big factor in playing Free Backgammon, or any type of backgammon for that matter, is the doubling cube. Just as the game of backgammon itself has strategies, using the doubling cube correctly requires a certain amount of understanding, therefore, it is advisable to get as much information as possible about this crucial aspect of the game.
