User reviews

Was really enjoying this BUT

Really enjoyed this game with no pop up adds . However the more you play it the more the dice seems to be stacked against you. Why does,the computer opponent always manage to dice with a number that either allows them the exact number to get back on the board or send your counter to the middle at least 90% of the time. Thought this was improving my game but now I’m just really frustrated

Response from developer

You can prove for yourself, that the dice are not rigged by (1) looking at the dice list beforehand (right menu, click on the small dice icon) to prove that the dice do not change during a game, and by (2) writing down a game and playing that game again, with the same dice as before, but entered as manual dice. The game will be exactly the same. So cheating is simply not possible, otherwise one of these two tests would fail.

Weird

Updated: thank you very much for fixing the issues. I’m addicted to the app

For about a month now, the board changes direction in the middle of a game. Speed slows down automatically even when it’s set for fast bi was so frustrated today that I deleted the game even though I paid for a no- ad cost

Response from developer

I did some changes in this area to fix the situation where buttons could be pressed during the board open animation. Hopefully the problem is gone now. Thanks for reporting.

It seems like the AI is cheating to win

Never in my life have I played a game of backgammon (I’ve played many) where my opponent got 9 sets of doubles in a row. It seems highly unlikely that would ever happen in the real world. I have to give it a 3 because everything else about the game is really nice.

Game so rigged.

Allows you to win 2 games and then not the third. So obviously and badly rigged
