What’s the point in showing double dice totals when only showing players total, not computers? 🛑

What’s the point in showing double dice totals when only showing players total, not computers? Decoration Purposes Only! If the computer’s double dice totals were also shown, you will see the huge disparity in the totals.

Hi D’Ora Cali, Totally heard we need to find the balance. We'll make some tweaks. Please reach out via Contact us in Settings. Appreciate the feedback.

Gammon that is good

Plays clean so far. I need to play more to be sure.

Need to review the stats though. Just good.

Too Many Taps!

Please note, there is an apparent bug; moves requires two taps to make one move,
Thank You.

⚠️ AI

ABSOLUTELY NON-RANDAM ROLLS! Use of AI is expected! However, this not so clever exploitation of the system displays an unfavorable disadvantage that overplays the game to the max! Love the challenge of the backgammon! The challenge with this app is how accurately you can predict the opponent’s winning rolls, and how quickly the lockout!
Best strategy: DO NOT COMPLETE RIGGED GAME, REBOOT!
Maybe the developer will get the hint!
All the Very Best to mutual lovers of the game! There’s gotta be a really fun, challenging AI backgammon game out there SomeWhere😊
IN SEARCH OF A DECENT BACKGAMMON APP!

WTF just happened?

Holy smokes. I play this on two platforms and for the most part the AI has been pretty lame. Out of the blue this game changed gears and the AI is off the charts competitive and makes smart decisions however the AI opponent rolls wayyy too many doubles and nails your open spots without fail. It’s really tough to win in the top tier with play that favors the AI.
