User reviews

Don’t buy. The game cheats.

I’ve put it to the test. It’s not random or coincidence. Whenever you answer the question Yes to ‘Do you want to resign?’ the game is programmed for it to win, immediately throwing the computer doubles and the player ones and twos, etc. If left to true randomness, this would be a great game.

This game sucks

All of thr people don’t play, they get ahead and then want to abort match. They need to fix this issue!

Fun but predictable

Fun game but can be frustrating when the computer always gets the dice it needs to jump you

Computer is too lucky

The computer gets an inordinate amount of doubles, hits my open men with impunity and generally always gets the right roll at the right time.

Please Update

This has been the best BG app. I paid for the HD version to show my support.

Please update it.
