    Anyone know what the AI is like?

    I use Backgammon Machine on iOS since it has a pretty decent ML-based AI, which can be very hard (but is limited too, it can become predictable)

      There are two engines available to play against, tabula and wildbg. tabula is rated beginner to intermediate level, and wildbg is the highest rated player on the server currently.
