I would give it 5 stars, but the poor sportsmanship is so predominant and immature that it ruins the experience. Quite a few players use the "undo" to hit, unhit, hit again the same piece over and over just to be annoying, or they stall, or let the clock run out rather then resign. Then, if you disconnect to avoid this, you lose a backgammon. All these issues are remediable with a little programming insight. Or at least make it possible to block an opponent from playing you again. Uninstalled.
I have played this game a lot and there is no way it is a fair game, when it wants you to loose you do no matter how you play. In the last 10 games I have been over 20 pips ahead all my pieces in the home court and the other person gets 3 to 4 sets of doubles to win the game. Its possible once in awhile but not 5 out of 10 times. If I was behind in the same 10 games never hit doubles. Also if you knock somebody off and have one spot open they get out 80% of the time in 1 role. I have been knocked of with 4 open spaces and cant get out in 10 roles the other player ends up covering all their spaces and when you do get out you almost always get small roles and they get a gammon on you. Yes it happens but not all that often in real life. I can tell when its going to happen and 75% of the time I can tell you what the other player will role.
Every game one of the two players will roll a 56. If the end game comes down to a race momentum will appear to shift but the one who was originally in the lead, lost or not, will get doubles or high numbers while the other gets low numbers.
Excellent, well matched competitors.
Love the game, hate the ads. I'd happily pay £10 to own the Android version of the game ad-free, or pay a £2.99 per year subscription model to remove the ads. If I could remove the ads I would also play more. Please provide some options.
As others indicated, the dice seems to be "unbalanced". More indicative, the clock continually resets. If you see that your opponent is running out of time and you accept their double, the clock continually resets for your opponent. Doesn't seem fair. Is it possible that those who purchase the app have an advantage?
The dice throw is flawed. My opponent gets 3, 4 and 5 doubles in a row. Often after doubling, or when its clear; you are meant to lose. The odds on these dice throws are 10 million to 1.
Could be really nice, but gameboard is very unresponsive - it's hard to mark pieces and their destination. Add autohide side menu, make board bigger and it will be five stars game.
Does not allow me to enter the game. It showed the terms screen and bring me to the web page showing the terms then when I returned to the game I had to read the terms again. Does not allow me to tick and enter the game.
This is one of the better free backgammon games, but I hate that it's rigged. I wish someone would be honest to create a backgammon game that isn't rigged!
This game is programmed to cheat. There is zero random in the com dice, it is destined to win, ridiculous game, so not real.
Absolutely dreadful!! Never seen anything like it. Fair dice!!!!!!!! It's an absolute fix. Don't bother.
Nice interface, poor movement... and it cheats (ex. 6,1 becomes 6,2).
Fun! Challenging, Better than playing with myself!
Fail to open the application
Very good app. thank you
The dice are fixed. Not a equal game.
jus provide online play with real opponent!
99% cheaters ...
It's very slow where you have to signal where you want the pip to go. Why not use one finger orbthe highest move goes first automatically by a ress if a finger and then the lowest after that. Make it more challenging and rewarding. Change the graphics around. Interaction with other online players would be good. Friends list etc. Bonus coins. Make it fun to come to.
