  • Points?

    I don’t know how we can have the same amount in take off board and I still have 6 left and they have 3 left?
  • Ads

    I liked this game quite a lot except for ads. Now, the game is stuck on an ad and I’ve done everything I can figure out but bring it to where I bought it to see if they can help me. After two weeks of this ad being stuck, I may have to change games and start bowling (or something)! Any suggestions?

    Hi, thanks for your feedback. Weird that the Ads would just start sticking for you. We've not changed anything game side, have you tried deleting the game and re-installing it?
  • Random dice

    If the dice number is not random, it may go faster but it’s not true backgammon. AI has unfair advantage.

    Hi, thanks for your feedback. For interest, we use the Mersenne Twister algorithm to generate random values which we use to throw the dice with, so it's only when the dice have rolled and landed that the game knows the outcome. It's as close to a real dice throw as possible. It's all truly random with no look-up tables that so many others use.

    As you can tell, I’ve played this game a lot. I finally got tired of it. I don’t mind so much being stuck on the bar for multiple rolls while the game gets in on the first roll every time even if I have five points blocked. OK, that can happen. What I do not like is when the game should hit one of my pieces and doesn’t! Why did it not hit me? A real player would have. Also the game makes stupid moves. We all know how to play an opening roll of 6-1. See any backgammon sources and they all agree. So why doesn’t the game play it that way? Finally just lost patience with it.

    I’ve enjoyed playing backgammon on this app because it’s very easy to find what I need right away, ie, the doubling cube:).
  • Dice rolls aren’t random

    There’s some kind of algorithm to the dice rolls. It is anything but random. Out of four rolls in a row, snake eyes twice, double threes and double fours. The rolls either favor you every time or favor AI. No matter how you play, it seems to split the wins evenly. Please fix this.

  • Slow moving

    Painfully slow. Why do I need to check each play. Just add an undo button. I want a game that moves quick and this is not it.
  • Scam

    Biggest scam , they control the dice. Once you rate it they slam you and want you to buy.

    Good but need to save the games longer than temporarily.
  • Backgammon

    Not a fair dice roll game. Don’t bother
