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!!!

Help

I like this game, by lately it randomly quits in the middle of a game — it is super annoying!!! Please figure out a way to fix this glitch.

Overall great BUT SOME PLAYERS CHEAT

About 15% of the players found a way to cheat the system. I am not sure how. When a player has a series of roles that have less than a one percent probability and that happens consistently, then there is an issue. Again, 85% of the games are fair and honest. But 15% of the games are clearly rigged and not mathematically possible.

Es wird immer unfairer und schlechter

Es war mal mein Lieblingsbackgammon
Jetzt macht es keinen Spaß mehr
Ich verliere nur noch - bitte ändert das wieder
Es hat sich sehr verschlechtert. Inzwischen sind die Würfel sehr unfair geworden , Von daher macht es keinen Spaß mehr.
Ich bin eine gute Spielerin und verlier fast jedes Spiel gegen Anfänger
So läuft das nicht

The best BG app so far

This is so far the best BackGammon app I ever played. And I’ve played most of them. Key moments – first of all it gives you all your points. If you win 1000, you get 1000, if you lose 1000 – you lose 1000, every other app takes percentage off of your winning points for some unknown reason. Usually 40%. You win hundred, you get 60. Total scammers. Not in here, and this is very important, because they do not try to scam off your points, kudos to developers. Another one – dice generator. This is the best dice generator so far that I’ve seen. like I said, I’ve played most of the Backgammon apps. Most of their dice generators suck. And you can predict the dice that your opponent is going to get with 90% possibility. They will always get that one in a million combinations that will make you lose. And again - Not in this game. 90% of the time the dice is random, once in a while, it might give you two or even three doubles in a row, but that happened to me only once in more than 100+ games I already played, and this can really happen sometimes in real game. And Sometimes is the keyword here. In all other times, the dice is absolutely random and unpredictable, which let you play to the best of your abilities without knowing that your piece will be hit with almost 100% possibility in the most crucial moment of the game.
Couple things might need some tweaking, but I wouldn’t even mention it, not to give the developers any ideas that might affect the whole performance :))
If it works fine do not try to fix it.
And most importantly, I’ve played BG for over 50 years by now, so if you do not make any dumb moves, you’ll be able to earn your points pretty fast.
Although sometimes I think that the person that I’m playing, is not real, because some moves they make look ridiculous, but hey, we are different, we think differently and who knows, maybe that is the way they play.
Verdict- Good App!👍

I really enjoy this game, playing with friends etc. But, for some reason it randomly quits in the middle of a game — that is very frustrating!!

Schönes Spiel nicht mehr

Es hat sich sehr verschlechtert. Inzwischen sind die Würfel sehr unfair geworden , Von daher macht es keinen Spaß mehr.

Vomits out continual stream of long commercials.

Seemed to be a great game until it started requiring constant consent to its data gathering on behalf of “trusted vendors”. It wasn’t enough to reject their options once, no, it was constantly filling out the same consent form even though each time using my information was restricted. Since then the game persistently and consistently vomits out a continuous stream of commercials that go on and on and on…
