Not the best backgammon game
The game gives itself quads on a far to frequent basis not realistic play
Gammon.
Like this game play everyday
Serendipity Misunderstood by AI
This game is so loaded it’s laughable. Every time I start it gives me a 5 or 7 (to soften you up) then at the end it locks you out but always finds the right dice for itself. Someone needs to teach it the difference between serendipity and cheating!
Fantastic backgammon game
I thought I was a very strong player until I played against the experts of this game with my butt laugh out loud
Poor at best
Okay, it can be hard to beat. But only when it takes control of the dice. Or at the very least looks ahead at future throws. The author denies this of course, but anybody who’s played this for as long as I have can see the patterns. From the very first throw you know how the game is going to pan out. If it’s pure gameplay, I usually win. If it takes control of the dice or looks ahead then you stand little chance. Of course you can easily beat this by throwing your own dice and entering the throws manually. But what’s the point?

Best Backgammon app
Best $5 I’ve spent on an app.
Cheats
Had to remove. Definitely knows the dice rolls in advance. What’s the point of playing against an opponent that has an advantage?
Dice so biased it’s amusing…
Don’t play the computer, it cheats very badly, often so biased it can be hilarious! It’s a pity the program doesn’t have enough skill to play a challenging and fair match, just relying on better dice than you for each situation, meaning you can’t learn from it, but the app is ok if you can find a real person to play, but there aren’t many of them. But overall a fair enough app to pass a few hours considering it’s free.

RIGGED BEYOND BELIEF
Holy cow - what a waste of $5. This game doesn’t even TRY to be fair. The computer rolls doubles more than 50% of the time during every single game. If I get a double, it’s only for ones. Hilarious. Greed is a terrible thing. Do not support this developer with your money like I did. The developer is a con. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!!!

Great game!
Great
Questionable
Even though this game came highly touted for fairness, the more I play the more I’m annoyed. Over and over again the rolls require you to compromise your position, especially in critical times like near the end of the round, then you split your pips and they will roll and knock you out every time. This was why I deleted the last backgammon app I had. It’s so frustrating. Maybe not so noticeable to play here and there but I’m playing multiple games during flights and it just becomes too predictive. Oh no, I can only split and … yup, I’m knocked back and then am stuck with no option to move until… wait for it, they get all their chits home and start casting off. Can’t believe I paid money for this thinking it’d be better.

It’s fun at first but, well, you’ll see…..
Totally playable on hard and above. Give it 5,000 rolls and then check the stats. Same pattern over and over again. App deleted.
My favorite board
This just seems like old-fashioned backgammon weather without all the flashing stuff, it’s easy and fun and it’s my go to when I feel like I need a game
Don’t believe the feedback of roll authenticity
You guys are liars! Your rolls are not authentic! Too many doubles are thrown especially in real time. And I’m not saying this because I’m losing. I’m saying this because I get the benefit as well. I noticed often the higher ranked players get extremely “lucky” when they down and out but somehow manage throw multiple doubles ( 2 to 4 doubles) at the very end in a race scenario to win their way out.

Horrible random rolling
Game seems rigged for the computer, always rolling exactly what would be beneficial. Awful stuff don’t waste your money. UI isn’t bad.
Bs on fair rolls
Not going to read supposed documents. Ok interface with options, rolls are not random
Game cheats; but get it anyway!
The game cheats:
Auto bear-off sometimes declines to take the greedy move even when it is safe to do so. Yet never losses the game as a result.
Developer response requested please.

Good fun but….
Good fun app but don’t expect to win much, especially on higher levels.
This is the third time I’ve spent a few weeks on this app and, a few thousand rolls in each time, the same patterns emerge.
The computer opponent will always have higher than expectation on pip score and doubles and you will have lower. The downside of the app having a statistics section is that it tells you the AI beats expectation over the long term and you don’t.
The computer doubles seem to be bunched in to the following situations……1) when it is bearing off 2) when it is massively behind on pip score to save it from being gammoned and 3) when re entering from the bar, it will throw a double and take out many of your counters on the way round.
On the other hand, when in a race, one of your dice will always be a one and you wont get any doubles when you bear off.
Still, it’s fun and, if you think of it as a slot machine in a casino, you’ll be fine. At least this way you’ll laugh at yet another miraculous escape.

Clunky
Overall the game is pretty good. It is insanely frustrating that I have to wait a long time to leave an online match when the other player doesn’t accept. There are some other things that could be polished but the fact I sit there forever waiting to leave a match wastes too much of my time to give this 5 stars.
