Review
  As backgammon gets bigger, it's natural it will have its own place in cyberspace. Like those who enjoy other activities, backgammon players love testing their skills against these of other players. Playing backgammon on the web allows enthusiasts to compete against people from all over the globe.

Play65 is one of the more popular backgammon sites that are available to players. At Play65 folks can either play just for fun, or put their money where their checkers are and play for profit. This is completely up to the player of course, and those who do decide to play for cash can rest assured that security is not an issue with this site.

The first thing that strikes you about this site is that it is obvious that the developers put a lot of thought into making Play65 as brainless as possible. Despite how that sounds, it is a good thing. The learning curve is very easy, and the interface is intellectually accessible to just about anyone who has even the most modest experience on the web.

Graphically Play65 is joy to look at it. Today our expectations of graphics have been driven to insane levels by Playstation and Xbox that anything less than stellar looks is not good enough. Play65 delivers on this shallow criterion in spades. Having the flags of various nations visible is one of those little touches that completes the visual experience.

Backgammon sites, no matter how pretty, are worthless unless there is somebody to play against. At Play65 folks will not be short of competition. You can tell what sort of opponent you are playing by the color coding on their skill level.

This site seems to do just about everything right. Players will not be disappointed by visiting this Play65.
