Fun game to play. Started on the lowest levels to get more familiar with the game. The computer is really good. Always seems to get the dice combination it needs to either knock us back to restart or make the necessary mover while playing on the hardest level. Kinda like its cheating or something.
Our favorite game and its very well designed.
The roll of the dice isnt fair 98% most of the time. The opponent always gets the ideal roll when its most important. If only one spot is open, the opponent somehow rolls a perfect 5 or 6.
We are throughly enjoying this game. It is one of the best we have played.
We cant play online with our friends even though your games claims the capability.
Loved this game and our husband and we played it a lot Then it began freezing up as we were trying to start the game. Could not move beyond choosing to play a two person game.
We play hard and just wonder how Challenging it really is… Are you thinking of coming out with other levels…. Thanks Tony.
We are in the middle of a pandemic here and there is only so much you can do while living alone and having an order of staying in ! This game really is helpful,in more ways than one we guess Ill live thru another night playing our game thank you.
We will say we wish there were harder difficulties, but we certainly enjoy this game.
Thanks for developing such a good backgammon game.
It could be better at score keeping.
We’ve had this game for two days, and so far Im really enjoying it.
This game is fun. Goes rather quickly. We dont feel like the computer always wins like other games. The ads are non intrusive and dont interrupt your game. It helps us learn how to play so hopefully we can beat our adult son. (Im 75 and just learned how to play.)
We’ve read quite few reviews thinking the computer has an unfair advantage! We guess we must be threatening to it because we probably have a 60/40 win ration and we play on Hard mode! We’ve even backgammoned the computer on a few occasions and quite often get a gammon! Most honest app we’ve played!
We love the ease of this game! Wish we could play acey-duecey (sp?). This is fun though!
We played 4 decades ago. Was easy t relearn the basics. Im now challenged in the medium level. Soon hard level.
We really enjoy this Ap! We like to play to unwind and get our mind off other circumstances, and this AP plays very real like feel for a digital format; the sounds of the dice, the clicking of the pips, natural feel of moving. This is what we were looking for.
Not great for online P2P action but in 1 player or local 2 player it seems to have fair rolls. Im enjoying it.
Other apps we tried always gave unrealistic dice rolls to the computer, we mean really, who rolls double 6s 3 times in a row when losing? We like this app, seems more realistic with the roll of the dice. Thank you to the developers!
Its like the games feelings will be hurt unless it has that 2-out 9th inning rally EVERY SINGLE TIME it falls behind. Very frustrating to see the same multiple doubles rolls exactly when they need them. If this wasnt free, this flaw would be what prevented us from buying it.
Nails user experience! It would be good to add tracking games over time. Maybe its here and Im not finding it?
Great graphics, easy to play. 4 difficulty levels. One or two player options.
Fluid motions make it a great experience. The graphics are top notch. Our wife and we play over a dozen games a night. If the creator wants to design something for us, we would love to hear from them. The smooth motion and graphics is far above all of the others. We have reached out to their developer page and gotten nothing. But if youre listening and youd be interested in designing another Backgammon game for us similar to this, but with some revisions, then please reach out to us.
We love this version of the game. We just wish the Difficult level was more challenging. Im not a great player but we win 80% of the time.
Can not use cube, once you make a move cannot reverse.
It will get you if you let it.
You dont spend half of your time looking at ads.
Like it but would like to has use of the die.
Wife gave us BG Board for Valentines. We have not played in years. We will be ready…
Good game, nice graphics without asking to pay for play.
Excellent to relearn and then play. Remains challenging.
Love the game but Id like it to keep our stats.
The roll of the dice favors the computer more often than not. Very tired of playing a rigged game. Deleting the app now.
Finally a game that doesnt cheat. Love playing at least we can win. Other games always have the advantage.
By far the best user friendly Backgammon game we have played..
We downloaded four different backgammon apps to find the best one. We chose this one as our recommended. There are ads but they are a rectangle at the bottom of the screen, and so far they have been pretty tolerable visually. Unlike other backgammon apps which had ads pop up in the middle of games lasting 30 seconds and/or every time you opened the app. Game play is what sealed the deal for us. The game rolls the dice for you, then you hold the pieces you want to move, the game highlights where you can move for easy visualization, after your move you end your turn. Its a super clean and simple backgammon game, which is all we want. (I like that this app rolls the dice for us but some might not.)
Played the medium and it was pretty fair win and lose. Went to hard and our rolls would be one and three or one and two. Computer repeatedly got doubles, mostly sixes. We dont mind losing but not every time to such obvious bias. We love backgammon and am a pretty good opponent but not when the odds are ridiculous. Cant someone write a program without skewing themselves to win 90% of the time. Takes the fun out of the game. We want to amend our original rating. Our husband showed us how to repeatedly beat the computer on the hard setting. Obviously our skill level was the issue. He has about a 98% win. With our skill drastically, we can manage to beat the computer now. Thanks to our wonderful husband. Its a fun game and we recommend it.
