It feels unfair to lose because you keep rolling the same bad roll and opponent gets 66 ### 4/5 — Стало удобнее играть *2025-02-01* Игра после последней разработки стала удобеее. ### 1/5 — Fake players and game *2025-01-27* The game is designed so that you don’t win a lot, and the dice will start giving exactly what your opponents needs to win, it is super obvious it is rigged. Why? Because you will have to buy points to play at some point. And you will notice some are not real players because they dont have enough player base. Removing now ### 3/5 — Medium *2024-11-13* For might be fun, for advanced players the AI is too poor. Beat it 10 times in a row from the start, double, triple, will delete it... ### 1/5 — Поищу другие нарды *2024-10-23* 1) Постоянно Меняются выигрышные очки: прибыль то по 200, то 250 (?), 2) часто меняются значения на кубиках после выброса костей, не в пользу игрока 3) генератор случайных чисел на зарах не случайный: практически во всех партиях жестко заваливают, выпадает одно и тоже несколько раз, именно то, что занято, а сопернику (даже отстающему) по 4-6 кушей подряд в сбросе, ну как так! 4) постоянно реальные игроки вылетают и вместо них доигрывает робот, это скучно, он играет однообразно плохо. Единственный плюс - выглядят визуально нормально. Все. ### 1/5 — Отстой *2024-10-17* Кости выпадаю не по реальному, зачастую ( вот только что) выпало 4 раза подряд одни и те же цифры и не в масть, и очень часто выпадает прям четко во благо противнику, да и к середине игры понятно кто победит по выпадению костей, можно же просто сделать чтобы хаотично выпадали цифры. ### 3/5 — good interface but hit bug *2024-08-19, version 2.3.3* #5 on dice- does not allow to move ### 3/5 — Computer Advantage *2024-07-22* Good game. Makes you think diythen backgammon, but when playing Solo against the computer the dice favor the opponent, which is frustrating, but does make it challenging ### 1/5 — Плохо ( *2024-04-30* Комбинации все сгенерированы. Это точно не случайное выпадение. Переодически переворачивает зарики после выброса, под те ходы которые нужны компьютеру ### 1/5 — Poorly designed *2024-03-24, version 2.3.2* Game have a lot of bugs. The game doesn't have any explanation about the rules. ### 1/5 — O c *2024-03-24, version 2.3.2* Bu oyunu tasarlayan orospu cocugu sana sesleniyorum yendikçe üst üste hemen neden rakip yenecek sekılde zar attırıyorsun oyun su sekıl ayarlı asla zekanla yenemezsiniz çünkü pul kaybedip sonra parayla pul almak zorunda bırakacak ya rakıbe ne yaparsa yapsın yenecek zarlar veriyor size de aksıne dolayısıyla orospu cocukları sildim oyununuzu ### 1/5 — Глючит *2024-02-24* Жестко глючит последнее время ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Более тупой игры я еще не видел *2026-07-27, version 2.4.9* Может лучше волонтером идти , чем такое придумывать. ### 1/5 — Dice rolls horrible *2026-05-01, version 2.4.9* Pure bs dice rolls. Gotten 0 doubles for like how many games and my opponent rolling nothing but high rolls. It’s just bs, not a fan of this app. Definitely would not recommend ### 1/5 — Dice rolls horrible *2026-04-19, version 2.4.9* Pure bs dice rolls ### 1/5 — 👎🏻 *2026-02-01* 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Dice rolls are not random *2025-10-27* I’ve played Narde/Long Backgammon for many years and I started playing this game in PvP and thought it was fun until I began noticing a pattern, I’ll have a streak of 10-15 consecutive wins and suddenly the dice rolls will favor the opponent in clear back to back fashion. For example if I needed a certain figure in a key roll and the opponent a different specific one, the opponent gets exactly what they needed just to counter my move and this happens 5-10 times back to back on 5-6 games after win streaks guaranteeing losses. Obviously it is driven by an algorithm designed to force me to lose and “even the odds”. This isn’t a truly random dice algorithm and one way to know that for certain is that the app developer has never published their dice rolling algorithm online for peer review or verification. ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-09-30* Do not download and don’t play, it’s a hacking app. There’s no customer service support and you can’t send emails to them. They will hack your account. It’s a fake automated game, people are fake bots. It will let you win but to certain point. I’m a professional player all my life, religiously and traditionally but in this game some moves and dice rolls are physically and mathematically impossible to make and roll. The design is great, I give them that. ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-09-17* It’s a fake automated game, people are fake bots. It will let you win but to certain point.

Подсуживает украинским игрокам. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Оценка *2026-02-18* Со вчерашнего вечера вылетает игра, пишет нет соединения с интернетом. Связь прекрасная. Это стало происходить после последнего обновления. ### 5/5 — Fatto molto bene *2025-10-03, version 2.4.4* Per favore inserite la possibilità di poter giocare con gli amici ### 5/5 — Нарди *2025-02-06* Па Почему отключили мой нарды прошу восстановить Может у меня деньги закончились а куда надо платить за меня подскажите пожалуйста ### 5/5 — Без подстав *2024-12-14* Наконец-то хоть одна программа без алгоритмов подкручивания кубиков. И сделана стильно , не крикливо и без маркетинговых фишек на искусственное удержание. Спасибо! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2024-10-10* I can’t fault it. It is just heaps of fun either playing against others or solo ### 5/5 — Fun love the game *2023-11-01* Even though myAlgorithm with this particular game seems to be flawed. I never get past 5500 points but the game is great and I don’t really care about the score. ### 5/5 — KARTOSHKA_ALESHKA *2023-03-19* All good, the only thing is ads, interrupting the game when you want to continue playing with the same opponent. And one more thing not really significant - long online awaiting time. Other than that I love the game. ### 5/5 — Güzel *2019-04-07, version 1.0.7* Güzel ### 5/5 — You changed the color it is not very correct, the correct color is the tree. *2019-03-17* You changed the color it is not very correct, the correct color is the tree. ### 5/5 — 🤘 *2018-07-10, version 1.0.7* Лучшее что качал --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
