Good game

not recommend

The game itself is well designed, but playing against the computer has become incredibly frustrating. After many games, I started noticing the same pattern over and over: the AI seems to get exactly the rolls it needs to hit my pieces or re-enter and immediately hit me, while I rarely get the rolls I need in the same situations. I understand that luck is part of backgammon, but this happens so consistently that the dice no longer feel random. It takes the fun out of an otherwise great app.

Not random roll

The game is so obvious that you know if you have a piece exposed, the game will roll the exact number to put you in the rail. You will roll doubles 90% of the time if you are on the rail and that space is not available. It’s ridiculously predictable.

Way to many ads

You don’t play real people, way too many ads that appear very often in the middle of the game, and the computer is way too lucky to suit my taste. Time to delete this app.

Rigged

This game could be fun, except for it’s really hard not to feel like it’s rigged when the computer gets every roll they could need to ruin your plans. They do the stats to show the lifetime doubles that you’ve rolled vs the computer but I’m 95% confident they are padding my count because every single time they’ve captured one of my pieces I roll a double to a slot they’re occupying. So technically did I roll a double? Yes but I couldn’t use it. Literally every single time, even if they are only blocking one slot, that’s the one I’ll roll a double for. It’s so frustrating. Then I’ll get mad, start the game over, and then I’ll get favorable rolls again. That’s my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking to it.

The game cheats you

This game that you’re playing against gets most of the doubles while you get stuck with rolls under 7 and way too many 2/1 rolls. I’m no Backgammon slouch and I still end up losing 75% of the matches.

Too many ads and no difficulty settings

I haven’t played back in a very long time, and I would appreciate if I could start off on an easier mode and then work up

Great Game

Learn the game, it’s fun and challenging. You won’t know unless you try it.

Meh

Amazing how the computer always rolls the number it needs…every time

No Difficulty Options

Trying to learn. Cant learn if all
I do is lose and the bot gets all the probably dice rolls

Too many ads

Love the real Backgammon action, but way too many ads.

AI RIGGED GAME

AI will notice your pattern & dice will constantly roll in its favor. The algorithm is not “random”.

Fixed

Game seems to be fix that the computer sends the to the middle and it rolls more doubles then you and you seem the only roll low numbers. Time to delete and find another game.

Worthless

This game company only cares about making a buck. Stay away and don’t download this game. You just get started playing and half way through the game they knock you off and play it commercial every single time and I am so fed up it’s
deleting the game. Do yourself a favor and run don’t walk run away from this game.

Thank you

Good stuff

Clean and nice

WiFi doesn’t work. Clean interface. Dice roll doesn’t seem random. Too many consistent examples to feel it’s randomized. It’s not when I’m losing, it happens even when I’m winning the dice rolls are repetitive, doubles repetition becomes obvious as the game progresses. I should do a recording of the dice rolls it’s almost too easy to guess the following roll. But the app is the easiest to use so far. Also would be nice if opponents had some ranking in difficulty to notice some progression of skills. Overall good app. Do different regions get different access? I’m not seeing what others reviewed.

Too may adds

Great but touches do not always easily work

Rigged dice

The dice is rigged so that it rolls specific numbers to land on blots. It’s not specifically in favor of the robot or you, but it’s definitely annoying.

Too many ads!!!

What a shame in recent months they’ve ruined what was a brilliant game by continuously posting annoying adverts. There are now up to 3 or four of them during one game, which is just intolerable

Fun game

The ads are very annoying, they just stay there for a long time and stop you from playing i dont mind the ads but please make the go away and not linger for so long
