### 3/5 — Schlechter Zufallsgenerator, zu viele Pasche

*2026-04-17*

Das Spiel ist sehr schön gemacht und spielt sich sehr gut. Leider wirft der Zufallsgenerator extrem viele Pasche für beide Seiten. Dadurch leider sehr unrealistisch und das verdirbt den Spaß.

### 1/5 — Worst backgammon ever

*2024-02-24*

This is slow and boring and makes moves that you don't want to make which you can't unmove before the dice is thrown for the opponent. I'd have my money back if I could. It's a joke

### 5/5 — All the features I want

*2020-09-12*

I love Hardwood products. Just downloaded this one because of my experience with other Hardwood games and it exceeds my expectations.   Fast play is my go-to. Love the graphics and the 
Game outcomes are much more realistic than other games. My favourite thing?   NO ads!  Thanks Hardwood. You’re a leader in every way.

### 1/5 — Overly sensitive controls (Apple TV)

*2020-06-25*

The Apple TV version is overly sensitive. When you try to select a piece it’s very easy to accidentally select one of the menu options. 
It’s very frustrating and difficult to select the piece that you want.

### 5/5 — Great A.I.

*2019-07-22*

I.ve played a few and this is one of two Backgammon apps with a fair and balanced A.I. Engine. Wish there was an option to not use avatars.

### 5/5 — Nous ce game

*2019-04-06*

👍👌

### 2/5 — No local Play on TV

*2016-12-28*

Seems ok on the pad but local multiplayer is missing on the tv version. Was hoping for some family play on the tv, disapointed.

### 5/5 — Loving It

*2016-02-05*

I've been playing Hardwood Backgammon since it first came out for PCs. Never had a problem with backgammon or any of the other Hardwood games (Apps)

### 5/5 — Love this game!!!

*2015-11-24*

Love all the Hardwood games. Have been playing them for years!!

### 5/5 — Backgammon

*2015-10-29*

This game is real fun because you get to play with other online players.  I also like the beach theme as well.  Enjoy playing!
