Rules no uniformly applied
Game is good to practice. However, the Crawford rule is only applied to black (the player) and the App sees its dice before doubling while black can not.
‘Expert’ level does not play at that level, but uses highly improbable dice to advance.

AI is awfully “lucky”
I don’t trust the integrity of the dice rolls in this game any more than the other reviewers here, it seems quite likely that part of making its “expert” AI (which I would say is decent, but not great - it doesn’t seem to take the larger game context into account very well) competitive is to give it a helping hand with the dice when it is falling behind.
I only played 6 games (of which I won 4, so I don’t think this is sour grapes), so perhaps I was just actually unlucky, but the computer significantly out-pipped me in every game and was also fantastically lucky with me missing opportunities to hit solo pieces upon entering from the bar (In one game, I went 0 for 5 on hitting pieces the computer left open in its end zone when I had a piece on the bar while I was way ahead, “coincidentally” allowing the computer to come back from way behind).

Strong player
I’ve played all the BG apps and this one has the strongest AI I can play offline. Thank you! Dice rolls are completely fair and neutral, most people just aren’t aware of how much better this bot plays than the other apps.
The game is 1000% rigged
This game is absolutely rigged. I have played this game for over a year and it is statistically impossible to get the rolls that the AI gets. The question is, why???? Why rig a game against the player, there is no money involved. Just takes the fun out of it and makes it frustrating.
Dice rolls not random
I have played a lot of games. Hard mode just gives player worse die rolls and the computer better dice rolls. Dice rolls are not randomly distributed. But at least it doesn’t have ads.
