Backgammon - Deluxe App Reviews

The interface is good but in the most challenging level computers dice must have higher probability for doubles and the number roll it needs. Not possible for dice to bd that lucky that often. Very frustrating. Played at least a hundred games and deleted it.

This application causes iPhones sysytem softwere failure.

Like others I have noted the extreme luck of the computer rolls. While I win frequently, the computer will never double you. This makes a blow out win by the computer longer than it needs to be. There is another flaw in that if you want to move a piece to its original place to reconsider your options it moves the piece back but now you must roll again. The purist in me views this as cheating. There are several holes in this game that need to be addressed. UPDATE: I had to delete this game after giving it poor review because I never won after I wrote it. IF YOU GIVE THIS GAME A POOR REVIEW, THE GAME WILL GIVE THE GAME TO THE COMPUTER ROUGHLY 85% OF THE TIME. So if you want to play with a somewhat even playing field do not give this game anything but a stellar review or you may as well quit playing. As I didnt change the number of stars with this update I fully expect I wont win another game.

One of the first things I noticed about the game is that the computer cheats. It will constantly give itself doubles, when you get none. It will say you have no usable moves, when you can see the dice and you clearly have moves. And it will change the way the dice land after the roll is complete. All that being said, I still enjoy the game. When you block the possible moves with a good defense you can still win. Knowing you beat a rigged game is fun. Kind of reminds me of the Kobayasi Maru - LOL

Not a bad game of backgammon. I may prefer Mobiventions bg gold or XG Mobiles free bg (though buggy), but this one is okay too. One thing I found odd: the Undo button doesnt take back your move to be redone but rather rolls a completely different pair of dice.

Pieces wont move where you want them to, game freezes. When game moves piece where you dont want it to there isnt an undo undo. Why is it so hard to find a good backgammon game? Know someone with a droid and they have a great backgammon day!

Terrible. Too easy. Deleted.

No doubling cube. Tough to move pieces. No "undo move" that I can find when computer places your piece on wrong slot.

Way too easy even on the hardest setting. No "undo" option. Difficult to move pieces.

The picture in the App Store shows an option for "Online" playing mode, but once you download the game, you learn no such option exists.

It is ok, but need last version was more user friendly

Amazingly every time the computer roles it roles exact numbers that allow the tiles to always be doubled up. Not the same game it was.

Like the undo, but last version was better. Going to delete.

New version is great. Very realistic. Much better than last version.

Both versions too easy . No doubling cube. Not much fun if theres no competition.

Ever since updating, it is impossible to win, even on easy. There seems to be no differentiation between easy, medium, and hard settings. And I doubt its a coincidence that the computer revives multiple double rolls every game (only happens for player every other and or so) or rolls exactly the number required to knock you off the board EVERY time you leave a piece alone.

This games dice rolling is extremely suspect. I am a seasoned player and after 15 games in a row on easy mode it seems to come down to the luck of the roll which is overwhelming in the CPUs favor.... Other wise ok app, there are better out there. Sorry. Because I like your other games.

First it was too easy because the comp player had horrible strategy. Now since the update its got better AI, but the rolls are always in favor of the comp player. On the next update keep the strategy, but give back the fair dice rolls

Much better w recent upgrade. Hard is moderately competitive.

Would like to se it a little more competitve
