If you want to play backgammon against the computer, then BGBlitz is the best choice, because there are no problems with this software. I bought the player version for $23.00 for continuous play. You can also play for free.

Pros
Good graphics
Cons
I purchased this game years ago. Of course I have changed Mac's a few times since. I am asked to upgrade every time I try to play. It burns me up. In addition the trial version doesn't is miserable and doesn't work.
Summary
Great!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Very good Backgammon implementation! The KI is extremely strong and plays better than every human. The tutor will help you to find the best move and improve your skills. Any other app without an artificial intelligence plays only at a beginner or intermediate level.
A great game gets better
