Great game. I wish they make a better board design
The hard setting only gives the computer an unfair advantage of knocking off open pieces 90% of the time, rolling doubles or the exact needed roll for the computer when most advantageous. Results in a frustrating experience most of the time that has nothing to do with skill. Have Uninstaller.
Just played another game on Medium,!! I had a 5 point block, and low and behold, computer rolls the only possible roll, first try, to not only escape, but it's a double to boot?!! Honest and Random, You should sell Bridges!!! I don't/didn't see any updates!! What you made it Fair !!! Bahahaha !!!!!! Thos game is rape !!! Every roll, for Air and the opponent, is Rigged!!! Never seen anything as Bad ! 15 Doubles to My 1 double... Lmfao 😂😆☹️!!???!!! Fair, Random, Honestly!? Again 15 DBLS to My 1.
I have owned this app for years. It has become ridiculous. The algorithms are so amateurish- just not fun.
Game heavily weighted in favour of computer and no online mode. Avoid
Cheating. How do I know? Simple. I still mostly lose even when completely following its recommendations.
Great game,plays well I wish it had help on the doubling dice . I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the game fun playing at different levels
No more online access 😢
Best backgammon app. I've used this since I got my first Book Color. Straightforward and no gimmicks.
Decent features. Analysis after the match from the files is useful if you are trying to improve. I think the randomiser must be a pseudo random algorithm as the computer seems to have a slight edge with luck. I DON'T think it is cheating or anything just an issue with randomisers generally and the fact that the AI does all its training with those random sequences. No big deal. Analogue randomiser would be prohibitively expensive and complex to implement. Would love to see a luck rating.
