Too many ads

It’s a good game w/ good graphics, but there’re too many ads & the ads are 2 long!

Rigged on Expert mode

Completely rigged. Dice fall disproportionately in favor of the computer. Probability of computer getting so lucky time after time is near ZERO. Too lazy to improve the game algorithm, instead they just rig the dice role

Rigged Game

Play it… you’ll see the computer rolls perfect dice. Also more ads than I’ve ever seen in a game before.

Not random dice rolls

Not great dice favors opponents with constant doubles

acey deucy or backgammon

game is fun and there are challenge games. ads become annoying but the game is free to play or you can pay for lless ads. would like to see a version with acey deucy.

So many ads

So many ads it’s unbearable, there an ad after every 2-3 rolls. It makes the game unplayable and annoying.

Too many ads for games

The game is good but way too many ads for games that you have to play before you can move on

Remembered why I deleted this

This is a great backgammon game. If it only had ads between games, I'd keep it and play it often. But multiple ads within one game is just too much

Dark theme

I enjoy playing the game and it would be more enjoyable if it can have a dark theme option!

Daily backgammon game

Backgammon game’s daily play section opponent’s playing strategy, logic of game is wrong. It’s supposed to be spread out to prevent other player can not play easily. It’s not fun to play the game if you don’t change it.

Horrible

This would be a great game, if I didn’t have to watch an ad every 3 moves. Also some ads wouldn’t allow you to leave and finish the game.

Rigged!!

If you play solo it is completely rigged to the computer winning. It’s a bummer and takes the fun away

Questionable dice odds

I enjoy the game but after a lot of play, but it’s noticeably biased. Makes the game less enjoyable overall.

Excessive Ads & Game’s AI is rigged.

I’ve been playing this backgammon game a lot, and two things really stand out - both bad.

First, the ads are relentless. It got so bad that I started turning off my Wi-Fi and data just to play without being interrupted every few minutes. That shouldn’t be necessary.

Second, the AI opponent consistently rolls better numbers than me which is so sus, especially at critical moments. Every time I get an advantage, like hitting one of its checkers, it somehow rolls exactly what it needs to hit me right back and take over the game. I win maybe 1 in 20 games. I genuinely don’t think I’m a bad player, but the dice odds feel stacked against the human side.

If the ad frequency got fixed and the dice rolls felt fair, this could be a solid game. Right now it feels more frustrating than fun, been lowkey crashing out because of this game.

Dice rolls

Just no way these are random when you roll the same numbers 3 or 4 times in a row. Or you and your opponent roll the same sequence 3-4 times in a row. The mathematical likelihood of these patterns is so minuscule I can’t believe it’s random.

It cheats!!

Besides the constant ads every three moves, it cheats!! They make me sit on the bar for 20-30 rolls where they get back on in one or two rolls!! They make me get high doubles, I get low doubles unless Im stuck on the bar then i get high doubles i cant use!! Or I get high doubles when I only have one or two to take off! And they always seem to get the exact number to keep taking me off but I seldom get the right ones to take them! And when Im taking mine off the board, I always manage to roll the numbers I dont have!
I dont care if they win while playing fair but come on, Play fair!!!!!

Rigged

This game is so rigged! It plays everything in its own favor. It’s literally impossible to win.”

Too many ads

Wayyy too many ads during play

Absolute garbage

This is an absolute garbage joke of a game. I downloaded so I could learn. All I’ve learned is that the computer plays with loaded dice. It lets you get just far enough ahead to think you might have a shot then somehow gets exactly what it needs for the next few rolls until it’s over. This game is trash and will be deleted.

Rigged games

This app sucks. Games are always rigged to favor the computer. It’s ridiculous! Don’t waste your time!
