Scammers

Do not spend one dollar on this game, it is completely rigged. The statistical probability of the dice, giving your opponent exactly what he needs every single time is almost impossible yet it will happen almost every game you play. Just type in “Backgammon Galaxy” rigged in Google and you will be able to read hundreds of testimonials. They should be ashamed of themselves, as they say, money really is the root of all evil.

Love it!!!

I love playing on this!!

Buggy and fixed

It’s very buggy and also 100% the dice is favoured for people who pay !!!

Wants you to pay

Good app, well executed. In common with most of these types of games that allow free play it will only let you win for a certain amount of time. Once you have built up a decent stack of coins, you will begin to go on long losing streaks. I imagine there is an algorithm that kicks in to try to make you start paying. As long as you realise this it’s fine. I just play other games and keep logging in to collect the free coins until I have enough to play again. I would be much more likely to pay if I didn’t feel I was being coerced into it because some of the paid benefits are great.

Parfait pour progresser

Cela fait à peine un an que je joue sur cette plate-forme et vous n’imaginez pas combien de fois elle a été mise à jour et à quel point le jeu a été améliorée depuis mes début sur Galaxy. L’application est clairement pensée pour être facile à prendre en main, et apprendre de ses erreurs.
Le vrai upside de cette plateforme (d’après moi) c’est l’analyse ; après chaque partie vous pouvez analyser vos erreurs, hyper simplement.
Transparence : oui le jeu a quelques bugs parfois ; par exemple ça peut arriver que les stats ne soient pas visibles après la partie. Parfois ça peut être un peu lent pour trouver un matchup, mais rien d’alarmant. Je recommande à 100%.

Almost perfect

Play is great and the dice feel realistic. I love the AI feature, it really improves your game and thinking. And the fact that you play for coins but it’s free is awesome. The constant network errors when trying to start live play are doing my head in, hope you can fix that soon.

Play like a Master

The great thing about this site is you can play a human, a bot or a Grandmaster. There are lessons and so many perks to being a Star member. Love it, a must buy.

Dice are ridiculous

What a con of a game. Dice are fixed. Don’t play match games as the dice are so fixed it’s laughable. Why do developers think it’s a good idea to fix the dice for so called excitement. Absolute rubbish

Engaging fun

I like the speed of the game

アプデで使いやすくなった

良い点
フリーズがほとんどなくなった。分析機能が縦と横に切り替えできる。
(追記)フリーズまだあった
改善点
マッチングしようとしたら「ネットワークエラーです」と何度も表示される。エラーレートやラックの計算方法を教えてほしい。日本語で学習できるようにしてほしい。統計がたまに表示されない。統計の「オープニング勝率」などわからない用語がある。

Scam App

Luckily I’m not stupid enough to invest a single penny in this app. The owner/developers have tried to monopolise backgammon for their own financial gain instead of making an app that’s enjoyable to play. For context I’m 40 years old and have played backgammon everyday since I was 7 years old. Almost 35 years of gameplay, so I think I know what I’m talking about. Let me list the countless ridiculous things which make this app absolute garbage. Firstly the app is FULL of bugs like random crashes (which still eat your coins) - speed glitches slowing down and speeding up the game clock, rematch is impossible as the app will crash immediately (on the phone or on the web browser both crash if you offer/accept a rematch) and countless other small issues. The “post game analysis” is absolutely pathetic and is a marketing tool to try and get you to become a member to “help you with your game” - backgammon is a game of luck and skill combined. And also context matters massively. The computer analysis is a robot and nobody could understand it even with years of gameplay. You can play perfectly and win and it will call you a rookie, you can play awfully and lose and it will call you superhuman. Basically, if you’re new to backgammon and trying to learn the computer will only confuse you. The gameplay and dice fairness is absolutely rigged in favour of members and high ranked players. I have dominated players ranked higher than me only to roll 5,5 4x in a row (on multiple occasions) the odds of which are 1.6 million to 1 and in 35 years of backgammon I have maybe seen this happen once, and end up losing the game. If you don’t play perfectly how the computer wants you to play based on its algorithm then you WILL be penalised. I played GamesGrid backgammon online years over 20 years ago and it was 100x better experience than this garbage app/website. The owners will come and reply saying the dice are fair blah blah blah, don’t waste your time listening to them. They want to sell coins and backgammon boards. I’m actually very disappointed, as someone with a passion for the game who can play multiple hours per day this has really made me believe that anyone in the online space is just another scam artist looking for a quick buck. I have seen videos of the creators playing games online against other members and they don’t even understand their own AI tool! They claim is has “solved the game of backgammon” haha it’s laughable. You CAN NOT even play against a friend for free. Whoever wins the game, both players LOSE coins I mean how petty and pathetic is that? If I could leave 0 stars I would in fact I’d leave negative equity!!! Pathetic excuse for a pay to win app - I’d rather play against myself on a board at home than get rage baited in to parting with a penny of my money on this! Appalling.

SCAM

The game is designed to make you lose so you’ll buy credits.

Fixed dice

The dice are rigged so you spend more money.

Würfel manipuliert

Wie alle geht’s hier ums Geld verdienen und nicht um faire Würfel.
Manipulation, so fallen keine Würfel.
Und ich spiele seit 40 Jahren Brett-Backgammon, da habe ich solche Zufalls Würfel noch nicht gesehen.
Leute die betrügen euch um den Spielspaß 🤢🤮

Worst of all the backgammon apps

There is NO WAY this app has a legit 4.5 rating. All the fake opponents they use to win at all costs.
Dont bother playing folks. Will just put you in a foul mood

Appli naze

Le jeu puni vos coups avec des mauvais dés au lieu de laisser faire la chance. The game is punishing the player with the dice instead of letting the chance roll the dice ! It’s a Conspiracy !

Not fair dice at all

Not fair dice at all - very poor system

Still too many coincidences with dice

It’s the best app I have found but the dice are not truly random. Too many dumb coincidences that do not reflect real life (I accept some, but not that many). I hope they can improve

They’ll steel your money!!!!

I really did like this game, until I bought GC and it never got it!!! I emailed support and never got a response. I’d give a half star if I could.
