Predictable bias
Edit: the worst thing you can do is beat this game at the Hard level. It will mercilessly cheat for several games afterwards. Now read on ….
I love a good Backgammon game. This has all the makings of being just that. Except the die rolling is ridiculously biased.
There is no “skill level”. Easy, Medium and Hard are just the amount of cheating the die rolls that favour the CPU player.
Want to see for yourself? Start a game on Medium and instantly double the stakes with the Doubling Die. You cannot win. You can get into a favourable position, but the die takes over, even the most diligent player staying safe will be forced to leave a piece exposed, and boom it’s gone.
Before you know it the opponent has locked out the landing area and you are stuck on bar for 8, 10, even more consecutive rolls.
Even if a lane is opened, don’t be foolish enough to think you will get that number up on a die.
It’s fun, but I’ve lost patience with a game that blatantly cheats.
Hard? Hahaha. Forget about it. I’ve won once in about 10 attempts before I gave up.
