B’gammon
After quite a bit of time playing this, I am left with the distinct impression that that the game does consistently and predictably give the ‘machine’ player highly convenient dice rolls, and that these consistent results are not random. I like the simple monochromatic game design, and the aesthetics, and that it is free with no ads - all of that is absolutely superlative. I liked, at times, playing this. But there are certain times when clear and obvious patterns of play, favoring the ‘machine’ player occur with such regularity that it puts a damper on one’s enthusiasm or desire to continue playing when despite one’s best efforts, the game play seems a bit, well, rigged. It would be great if the developer could tweak this a bit,so that gameplay is more neutral and does not favor the ‘machine’ player. Parts of the app are nicely designed.

Machine gets to many doubles
The computer seems to get many doubles such that it gets more moves. Not convinced the game is fair. Seems to always be many moves ahead.
Simple and Functional
Very easy to fire this up and play a few games quickly. No crappy ads popping up constantly. -1 star for the lack of a dark mode (UI is too bright at night) and limited difficulty options. It would be nice to play against different styles (defensive, aggressive, etc.). 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a simple backgammon game!

Cheats
Sometimes will block you from moving in certain spaces the computer wants to capture your pieces from next turn.
AI seems fair
I’d like to be able to play full screen landscape without triggering the pull-down menu, but UX is otherwise nice!
