Fun but feels rigged

I enjoy playing, but the amount of seemingly rigged games is ridiculous. I just played four games where I was ahead and somehow lost three of them on the last roll when the opponent miraculously rolled doubles to clear their board.

Don’t waste your time

See all the comments about the extremely poor algorithm used for dice rolls. It’s statistically impossible for the computer to receives the rolls it does.

Good game

The game itself is nice to play. The ads suck. The game gets stuck in the adds and I have to close the program and reopen it. The ads really lower the playing enjoyment. Which is unfortunate as I got this game through Apple Games so I can play with traveling and out of cell phone service.

Very pleased, developer always improving

Been playing for years I just need to get better

Fun & Addictive

Been playing this Backgammon for a couple years now. it has addictive and challenging rounds where you can play with strangers, alone or with computer. You can almost feel the atmosphere and the intrigue. Can’t wait to play another round!

No way dice are Random don’t waste your time

If you believe that you’ll get a random fair dice roll you’ll soon be sorely disappointed. The mob runs game more fair than this game. It is entertaining especially if you’re a sadist or into self abuse. It’s very common to roll the same number combinations 2-4 times on a row. Watch your opponent get the perfect roll time and time again. If you’re opponent has over 6000 points your basically toast. It has nothing to do with skill, but more to do with point level. I’ve had those players play with reckless abandoned, leaving 3 to 4 tiles open within a 10 roll space and leave them open for 2-3 turns without being hit. I enjoy this game and play daily but know what you getting.

Best Backgammon game on your phone!

Wonderful layout and the AI / computer is as good as any player out there. Plus it’s always fun playing online players, with a fair system that works to find you games. Highly recommend this game.

Some players hacked the app and they’re ruining the fun

Been playing the game and overall I really enjoy it. However just pay attention to really really high point players, seem like they hacked the game and no matter how good you are they’re getting the dices exactly (very low chance dices) what they need all the time and you somehow can’t get the dices exactly you need at all. Then you wonder how it is enjoyable to play this game when some people rigged the game at all with nochallange and playing with the help of the program they’re using. The developers really need to look into it, some people with very high points tend to get the all dices, it’s indeed hacked. Edit: played 2 more weeks and it’s actually getting worse. Delete the app. It’s not a normal app

Completely rigged… Dont waste your time

The game is the classic, except for the rigged system they have… Watch how when you double, your opponent will immediately get doubles constantly. The developer doesn’t answer questions or give any explanations. Cool game, terrible developer with rigged systems…

Highly Addicted!

Backgammon freak… love it

Dice are genuinely loaded

When you get up to advanced levels, they rig the dice instead of maximizing the game’s ability to play great backgammon strategy. They’ll pretend that perfect strategy just makes it seem that way; it’s pure gaslighting. It’s an incompetent backgammon game programmer that has to go this route.

4.3 rating?

cheats just as much as everyone says it does

Rigged Gameplay and an Unfair Rating System – Impossible to Progress

This backgammon game feels completely rigged. There is a repetitive and predictable pattern where you experience a winning streak, followed immediately by a losing streak, and this cycle continues over and over again. It feels deliberately designed to prevent players from progressing, regardless of their skill level.

To make matters worse, the rating system is incredibly unfair. You lose significantly more rating points for a defeat than you gain for a victory, meaning even when you win more games than you lose, you can still end up with a lower rating.

The constant cycle of wins and losses feels artificial rather than random, making it difficult to believe the game is genuinely based on luck and strategy. It creates the impression that the system is designed to keep players stuck at the same level rather than rewarding improvement.

I’ve noticed this pattern repeatedly, and it completely takes the enjoyment out of the game. A competitive backgammon game should reward skill, consistency and fair play, not leave players feeling as though the outcome is predetermined.

Extremely frustrating, poorly balanced and ultimately unrewarding. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a fair competitive experience.

Most consistent

I’ve played most of all the Backgammon games in the last 20 years. This game is the most consistent with the dice algorithm where others really seem to muck around.

Best Backgammon game by far

Addicted. A non-annoying backgammon game!

Player

I’ve enjoyed playing for years now. But I’m not pleased with playing against the computer. I think it would be a better experience if the dice rolls were completely random. The game seems rigged to me.

Chat

I despise the new chat feature. It really makes me hate the game. People are jerks. Please make a way that you do not have to experience this.
