Fixed Big Time

You don’t need Penn & Teller to let you know how a game is rigged.

The patterns are obvious, especially the frequent “Great Escapes”, and end-game turnarounds. My favourite though is when the computer rolls two dice that correspond to both possible places for a blot to occur. Or when you roll 15+ times without getting a four on greater on one die.

I notice network play is noticeably random, no problem.

What I see happening is the computer is a poor player and too often would not win without a dramatic turnaround two rolls before reaching home, and these games are way too frequent. I don’t know and I don’t care how they fix the list of rolls retroactively — but it is probably much less trouble than designing game skills

TRULY FIXED

This game is clearly fuxed

ChatGPT’nin birinci tercihi !

ChatGPT’ye sordum. En iyi ve en kullanışlı tavla uygulamasının bu olduğunu belirtti. Denemediğim tavla uygulaması kalmamıştı diyebilirim. Hiç biri bunun eline su dökemez. Gerçekten mükemmel.

Played for years - it’s the best so far

Ignore every review that says computer bias. Some people just can’t play advanced level backgammon. The AI in the is clever and better than almost all the others but can still be beaten. Would say it’s about 55:45 to the AI on the highest level, which is about right. Game aids, game play and general UI is very intuitive and constantly improving. It’s smart, smooth and fast. Well done for making the best and beating the competition.

Einfach spitze

Tolle App, die Spielstärken mit den Erweiterungen sind absolut top, auch die Anzeigen während des Spiels und die Tutor Funktion sind Gold (und ihr Geld) wert. Jeder der meint, dass das Programm schummelt scheint das Spiel grundsätzlich nicht Verstanden zu haben… und ja es kann frustrierend sein, wenn der Digitale Gegner auf einmal genau die richtigen Zahlen würfelt, allerdings kommt das genauso oft umgekehrt vor… nur dann ist das Skill, oder ;-)? Tolle Pflege der App über die Zeit weiter so.
