Gammon Shark

I have played over 270 games, have thrown double 6 once! In a real board game with real dice I would throw double 6 at least once in a game
What are the odds, ?
and another thing, where are my coins I have won, they keep disappearing . Can someone explain the coin system, thanks


Since the update. We have double 6, every game. Love the app. Best I have found.


I love the game, since the new update. My name has been changed twice and I cannot get my name back. It says invalid name!!!
Why is this so?..


I am now called Foster fall. Why has my name changed and why is Gammon Shark invalid. Any name I choose is invalid, so why on the app it says you can change your name.?
Did I do something wrong? Why have I have no ranking in the tourneys.

Very disappointed.

Toooooooooooooooooooooo Much Ads

Pepperoni

Great game, been playing. Backgammon since i was a kid 50

By Far Preferred Backgammon Game

The only caveat is that the game has had some glitches primarily on new releases and I find it to be the only game that gets “hung up” from time to time where I have to exit and go back in mid-game which isn’t very convenient if I am in a tournament. All in all though, I thoroughly enjoy!

Jusjan

Great app very short adds its fast. Doesn’t freeze! I really like it

Great game

This app is great, smooth running with cool graphic. When I needed support due to constant adds chucking me out, it was prompt and helpful. Well done and thanks.

I love backgammon

Beautiful app and so much fun playing against others!

Certains lancées sont prévisibles. Il faut changer plus régulièrement. Bonne journée à vous

Rigged roles.

Roles are rigged.

Manipulated Algorithm - Stupid wheel

There’s nothing random about these rolls… programmers are simply sadistic bunch of morons who manipulate the algorithm to force you to lose after so many games! Then they have these amazingly perfect rolls for your opponent even though you’re ahead and winning… only to find yourself losing! Give me a break! None of this happens in real games!!! The wheel you spin forwards almost always lands on the egg or flower or some idiotic reward that the game doesn’t even explain what these are for! A good game is ruined by horrible experiences!

Verbesserungsbedarf

Absolut nervige Werbung, die scheinbar endlos läuft. Gerda im online Modus bei einer Anschlusspartie, wird das durch Werbung verhindert. Schade!

Cheats

Not fun playing, always a hit

Advertisements don’t close

The advertisements are overly pushy and you can’t continue play without closing the app. I would never purchase an app that was that pushy.

Stupidly created to kill the fun

Every good review here is written by employees/employers, family and friends of employees/employer or the actual people involved with the creation of it because It’s such a shame to finally find a fun backgammon game like this after playing other ones, only to see it’s not even close to the actual backgammon board game because it’s so rigged to give the computer every number it needs to set you back every single time that I would love to slap the creators (not literally😂) for screwing up such a fun game and don’t forget, the length of the ads are super ridiculous.

Come on guys. It’s a game. Why rig it so much that it sucks all the fun out of the game. Not waisting my time with this game anymore. I’m trying to get better by playing this game so I’ll be nice when I play the actual board game against family and friends. This one has threw me completely off. Terrible game development because it’s too rigged. Created by goofies. FIX THE DAMN GAME!!!

P.S: how smart are you if you can’t get the game as close to the original physical board game as possible. This is the dumbest backgammon of all because the creators can’t get the game to stop getting the exact number to keep a person from truly competing. WOW!!

Your creators are not that smart. It’s lazily put together. DO THE DAMN WORK AND FIX IT

PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT YOU CAN GET IT CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL BOARD GAME CAUSE THIS ONE IS IGNORANT. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

Entertainment only

I play the game only for mindless entertainment. You will not get an honest game here. The dice are highly manipulated, and even though you think you are playing against another person, both of you are playing against the app. Nice layout though.

Oh well

I thought I finally found a backgammon game with random dice. At first the games seemed fair. They got increasingly less fair over time.

Rigged roles

Too bad the roles are rigged and you are not playing a live person during live play.

Gym

I deleted and reinstalled the game due to what I thought were accounting errors. After reinstalling the game my level went from 93 to 1. My score went from over 7,000,000 to about 200. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and I am back to a level 93 and my points have been restored. I don’t understand how that happened but I am glad it did. The game refused me to make a legitimate move until it timed out. It is a great game with problems. Some day hopefully the problems will be addressed.

Rigged Algorithm

Game starts out fine. The more you play the more predictable it becomes. Opposite player will roll multiple doubles to my few or none. Make the game more realistic!!!
