### 1/5 — Backgammon

*2026-04-04, version 1.5.5*

Joke of an algorithm

### 1/5 — No

*2026-02-12, version 1.5.5*

No online no

### 4/5 — Ads freeze app

### 1/5 — Not offline!

*2026-01-20, version 1.5.5*

Ads Ads and more Ads

### 3/5 — Why are dice rigged?

*2025-12-13*

This is a really good game except the dice rolls are so obviously rigged. Why can’t we just win or lose on our own merit. The computer always rolls the perfect numbers to send chips home but never what the player needs. And you can never win against consistently higher rolls, allowing the computer to move more spaces. It would be a perfect game if the rolls could truly be random.

### 1/5 — Rezalet

*2025-06-23, version 1.5.5*

Oyun son zamanlarda pay2 win olmuş oyun içi satın alım yapın diye en kolay mod da bile yenmeniz neredeyse imkansızlaşmış arkadaşlar açık verdiğiniz gibi nasıl oluyorsa hiç sekmeden yapay zeka taşları direk kırıyor ve hiç birşekilde açık vermeden oyunu sürdüremiyorsunuz kazanacağınız bariz olduğu halde yazılım ne yapıp ne ediyor en kolay modda bile size açık vermeye zorlayıp oyunu yapay zekaya kazandırıp tüm paranızın gitmesini ve oyun içi para satın alım yapmanızı istiyor tamamen tuza verdiğim puanı en düşük puanı bile haketmiyor

### 2/5 — Good

*2025-02-12, version 1.5.5*

Dice rolls are completely one sided in favor of the computer. 
Way to many ads.
