Uses speech and also works with OS 8 and 9 (requires CarbonLib). For those concerned that the dice rolls might not be random, the game has an option to save the dice rolls, to be used in the game, to a file in the game folder before the game starts. There is also and option to ask if you want to use your dice rolls or the computer's dice rolls. With these 2 options selected, even the most skeptical can be assured that the game is not cheating. Also, you can check the stats that the game keeps to assure you that the dice rolls are random and not favoring either player.

Summary
This game is the real deal and well designed for players of different levels. There are numerous settings to let you set up the style of game you want to play. Take a look at the designer's promotional descriptions at his web site....I found these to be accurate. There are not many good backgammon games available for the Mac computer, so we are fortunate to have this fine one to call upon! Give it a test drive with the demo, and I anticipate that many folks will find as I did that the $25 price of the full game is good value.
