User reviews

Would be a good app if it worked!

Have been waiting for this to actually work for a week now. App crashes an restarts even with paid version.

Best backgammon available

This is my favorite of all backgammon games. The skill levels are perfect and I have greatly improved my game skills while having lots of fun. The only improvement I can think of would be increasing the customization options a bit. Highly recommend this game/app!!

Tutor?

I would expect an app that specifically says โ€œtutorโ€ in its name would teach how to play backgammon, but it doesnโ€™t. No overview of the game or game play, and no explanation for why it suggests the moves that it does. Itโ€™s just an app for playing backgammon.

Cheating

Cheating is crazy when done by a computer.

The reviews are right.

Iโ€™ve tried both the balanced and the random and choices and in both, when you enter the end game, if you are winning, and see the computer roll doublesโ€”start counting. Way too often the computer will roll three sets of doubles in a very short time. Itโ€™s way too often to be normal odds, so as much as the developer(s) trust their algorithm, something is up, so they should play it a bunch and see for themselves. I play on a website online too, far more than here, and that never happens. Also, the tutor often has you leave a piece open and then takes it, when there was a better move available without leaving one open. While the game may catch options you overlook, I feel the main tutoring being done here is learning when to know you shouldnโ€™t listen to the computer. I gave it three stars though because itโ€™s playable and serves its purpose when the annoying doubles thing isnโ€™t happening
