Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We played this game for years with other online players when it was part of Skillz. Now the multi-player version with chance to bet real money is gone and we feel like all our friends disappeared.
Hello, Excellent we are impressed.
Enjoyment galore Honing our skills for sure.
Although we think it is rigged so everyone ends up around 50/50 win losses. Never seen so many double ones and 11s when it is the only numbers we can get hit on. Still a fun game to play. Wish customer service would explain the scoring in more detail.
Its a great game, you can win if your fast.
Its a game of luck and skill, Im still learning to play it.
Im impressed and we look forward to seeing how this new category evolves.
Love this game we finally found something Im really good at.
When you cant play in person, this app is fun.
Very well done. We cant stop playing. Thanks.
Great games and fun for all, but if youre playing any of the games you have the option to play for cash or play for tokens. Tokens are given for free and you can win tokens, as well as get as a log in bonus or watch an advertisement. You can play for cash but it is impossible to win real cash unless you plan on being really skilled at the game of choice, perfect your play, have several hundred to start and play all day and night. There are about 100 people you will see at the top of leader boards on all games for rewards and tournaments. You will win games but you pay 60% of total purse should you win, so if you win one and lose one, youre not even.
Love that there are no ads just wish scoring tutorials were better explained.

Love it. Fun and faster version of backgammon. Skillz-enabled, so added fun and more competitive.
Fun way to play against someone, cant wait for live 1 vs 1 though that will be epic.
Love playing! Always a challenge.
The computer seems to hit the perfect tool at the end of games. Multiple times in a single game. No bueno.
Music excites you too. Backgammon with a twist. NICE.
Divertida y requiere estrategia.
We love this quick backgammon game, although Im still not sure how to play to win. Sometimes we think its just plain luck. But, Id like to think that our wins are strategically made! As for making money, we seem to break even.
They have a system in place for fairness so lower skilled players have a chance. This leads to advanced players facing a much tougher AI and essentially being cheated out of wins against opponents of a much lower skill level.
This game is pretty easy to learn and fast to play. It has just the right amount of skill to keep it interesting. We hope Skillz adds friend challenges.
We couldnt quit constantly till we bury.
U need more games. U got mostly solitaire. How about more card games spades and hearts? But it still a 5 star. Cant play says needs Internet connection.
So much fun and you can play against real people for real money.
Sort of a funky version of backgammon but its fun.
We love backgammon! This is the first app Ive ever played it on though. Interesting concept, but we like the fast pace and the real potential to win money.
We play it everyday! Its our favorite game.
We never played Backgammon until we downloaded the game on skillz and Im learning how to actually play at 52. Thanks Dawn.
Love playing backgammon especially on this app couldnt be any easier and always making money.
Im an avid Backgammon Player, so when we first saw this way of playing it took us a minute with some practice sessions until we finally got the hang of it.. Its different for sure… If you love Backgammon this is a new way but its a high win ratio!!! Try it youll fall in love with it for sure.
Im enjoying these timed, fast paced games.
We really like the game but would prefer Zs to tickets because we just wanna play not redeem tickets for stuff we dont want.
Scoring based on the number of rolls would make more sense. Doubles isnt helpful if its double 1s.
Good app just wish you could play the actual player and not against bot.
We like this game but we are ready to delete this app and never give a dime. When you lose it shows your result almost right away. When you win, it take forever for them to show results because they just want you to keep playing and paying. Game is not still in process.
Unrealistically & frustratingly one sided. However we understand this is a gaming app intended for entertainment but to win the higher percentage. Thanks but we are done.
The game slows you to get login bonuses. Z coins, or tickets. Tickets are about useless as they are reset each month so unless you play continuously which would force you to buy more Z coins. The balance of getting tickets or z coins is way unbalanced… We tried reaching out to support and was given the response of reading the faq.
Don't play for money. The game pairs you you players of equal ability, so you'll lose about 50% of the time. Since they take a cut, you'll lose money in the long run.
Great app! Ok we love it so much.
We love the twist on the original game.
Definitely glad we downloaded this. Best backgammon app (with a twist).
Pitting you and an opponent individually against an AI, and judging the winner of those matches is a brilliant way to get around lag time in a pvp setting.
Not your typical backgammon game! Fun and fast paced! Come pl.
Assume youll loose money, but have fun doing it.
We dont know what this is, but it certainly isnt backgammon.
This app is fixed lets you win but not to cash out anything fake and waste of time all the Blitz games.
This game is bangin! Fast paced! Great effects! Interesting scoring with a luck factor as well as skill. We definitely recommend for any backgammon player looking for a fast paced action packed bop bop backgammon! Take your time and remove your pieces. Hopefully this game becomes more popular.
Dont understand this version, but we think Im catching on.
We are addicted cant stop playing.
