What is really bad ist the „random dice roll“ - as it is not random. It is frustrating when losing 40 games in a row because the other person gets always the needed dice. Either bad coded or people can buy the win. Both options make the game frustrating. ### 2/5 — No doubles for me *2026-08-05* Unreal how the computer gets so many doubles every game. Thats really messed up! ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-07-17* Only won 3 out the last 15 games. Seems a bit of bad luck? The last one from Russia won on a roll of doubles. Not too happy. ### 3/5 — dommage *2026-01-17* Bon jeu qui permet de jouer en ligne avec des humains, mais les dés ne sont vraiment pas aléatoires ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-08-16* Two issues with this. Jerky movements which has never been fixed and when playing against the computer, you’re not just playing strategy, you’re playing against the roll of the fixed dice. ### 3/5 — Pips *2025-06-16* Missing ### 1/5 — Подстава *2025-06-02* Петушиная, удалил ### 1/5 — Not Really Random – Feels Scripted *2025-05-05* I really wanted to enjoy this game, but after playing quite a few matches, it’s obvious the dice aren’t random. Some of the outcomes are just way too unlikely to happen by chance—like, less than 1% kind of unlikely—and they keep happening over and over. It honestly feels like the game is designed to stay dramatic till the last moment, with sudden twists that just don’t feel natural. Sometimes it’s like there’s a script running in the background, trying to force a comeback or a close finish. That might sound fun in theory, but in practice it just feels fake. I’ve seen way too many weird, lucky rolls happen exactly when the game needs a plot twist. It’s not fun, it’s frustrating. Unless the developers are planning to fix this or at least give some explanation, I’m done. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — No *2025-05-01* Its just seems rigged. It definitely doesn’t deserve a 4.9 rating. Give me a break. ### 1/5 — No *2025-04-15* How many doubles can your opponent get? Well, like 8 or nine a game. It’s a joke. Double 5s twice in a row then double 6 then the game is over. Unrealistic. ### 1/5 — No *2025-02-18* Another bogus game that uses computers to beat you. ### 2/5 — 長期間遊んでわかった事 *2025-02-08* ①お互いポケットへ入れ合うゲームのラストでゾロ目が4連続して勝敗が決まるなど、出目が明らかにおかしいと感じる時が多くある。 ②マッチ15連続など、しばらくの間ずっと番手が後手になり続ける事がある。私の場合は後手番が7割程度であった。 ③ゲーム全般においてはバックギャモンライブのアプリとは違いプレーヤー層は悪くないが、チャットや顔文字で煽りをしてくるプレーヤーなどブロック機能によりブロックしてもマッチングしてしまう為、ブロック機能の恩恵があまり感じられない。 ④マッチングする相手のレベルについて、子供や超初心者と当たることも上級者中級者とバラバラで、ゾーニングを設けると各段階のプレーヤーが楽しくマッチできると思う。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ok *2026-08-09* Only won 3 out the last 15 games. Seems a bit of bad luck? The last one from Russia won on a roll of doubles. Not too happy. Sick of the drama. As soon as you hit their next roll is a double. ### 1/5 — Uneven rolls *2026-07-18* How wonderful it is for the opponent to get so many doubles and I get hardly any. Also, if I ever have a piece open about 95% of the time they rolled something that can hit me. I have been hit more in this game than I have collectively in my entire life of playing Backgammon. Wanted to like it and I did at first, but no good. ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-03-31* De longue bloquer les dès pas du tout aléatoire de la daube ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-03-16* If you bet high you will lose no matter what. Always trying to get you to buy coins. Stupid programmer. ### 1/5 — Delete *2026-03-11* Done with this game. Way ahead and still lose repeatedly. Delete. ### 1/5 — Hard mode incredibly frustrating *2026-02-05* If you play against the computer, Hard mode is incredibly frustrating. It feels like it cheats with the dice rolls and constantly manages to beat you. Hard mode doesn’t feel realistic at all. It makes you say swear words you didn’t even know you knew. Also, if one of the dice can’t be played, why are we forced to press “OK” to confirm it? We can already see that it’s unplayable. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-01-15* Scam game ### 1/5 — Not random *2025-09-26* The computer gives itself the best roll almost every time. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Very baaaad *2025-09-01* Veryyyyy baaaad ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-08-31* Playing hard shouldn’t mean the computer gets exact rolls EVERY TIME! Should be strategy but you don’t know how to make the game fair and random. Found better, easily! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-03-14, version 548* Fair, fun game. Easy play. No gimmicks. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-11-04* I enjoy the graphics and the gameplay. No doubling cube to mess with. All these backgammon games seem rigged when you lose, not when you win.
