Horrible Rigged Game

Read the reviews. Don’t pay these people anything. The designer of this game has been laughing over these comments for at least 13 years. They designed this game just to get people angry over never being able to win against “COMPUTER EASY”.

Worst game in the App Store

I paid for an upgrade 10 years ago which was supposed to give you random rolls. Your rolls might be random, but “Computer Easy” rolls are rigged. It’s a really good design for ease of play, but it’s designed to cheat.
You’ll find 13 years of bad reviews because of the cheating rolls, and it’s never been fixed.

Worst backgammon game

Rolls always go in favor of the computer player. Once you are in the house and need anything but 6 and 2 for example you can be sure you will roll a double 6 or a 6 and a 2. If the computer is in the house and can only come out with a 4, he will roll a double 4. Do not get this game. Way more normally random games out there instead of this one making sure the computer always wins.

A Fool’s Backgammon Gold

Have been playing this game for years and know how to win. Recently, I’ve noticed that it’s almost impossible to win against the computer, regardless of the level of expertise you assign the computer. I see that many others have had similar experiences. Backgammon is a game of skill AND chance. Unfortunately, you can have plenty of skill and absolutely NO chance of winning. It’s really a shame. I used to like this game played on this platform. Now I think it’s a scam.
