Acey -Deucy MIA
Not sure what happened to my favorite game, acey-deucy, but it seems to be kicked to the curb. Highly disappointing
iPhone problems
Does not work with current iOS.
Bad Random Number Generator
I can only assume the programmers used a poor random number generator to get the dice rolls. Like other comments, the computer seems to roll a lot of acey-deuceys and doubles. I recently played a game where the computer rolled three aces-deuceys in a roll. Not statistically impossible but damned unlikely. Bad game

Great game and learning tool
I have been playing Absolute Backgammon on an iPad, a laptop and remotely with a friend for well over a year. Contrary to claims that it is rigged, the game is completely random and fair. I have played hundreds of games; sometimes the dice break your way and sometimes they do not, just like in real life. For one thing it is a fabulous learning tool for a novice or experienced player given that you can play at various levels and ask for suggested moves. This feature also allows you to learn to avoid blunders. Any claim that the game cheats is childish and absurd. There is no incentive whatsoever for David to create a game that is not fair and random. To the contrary he is a very skilled and talented programmer and constantly accepts input and works to improve the game and a players experience. This is a terrific value, the best Backgammon game I have come across. In short, it is a beautiful implementation of a valuable learning tool. Ignore the shallow childish negative reviews.

Outstanding
Been playing twice a week remotely for a year. Occasional glitches when weather takes out the server but it's otherwise seamless. Of course, when playing the computer it beats me often, but I win my share. Some days I get the rolls and some days the computer does. Seems pretty fair to me.
It's the only backgammon game in the app store I have found that is not full of nagging and extra cr?p. If you just want to learn/play backgammon, this is the one.
