Backgammon KG

This game does not have a fair RNG. It heavily favors the AI. The algorithm is not fair between player and AI. Do not play if you want a fair game.

The dice cheating in this one is pretty bad. Not the worst that I’ve seen, but it’s up there.

Congratulations for the fantastic computer player

This app wins almost every time. I have played backgammon all my life. It’s no fun playing against computer. Needs a big fix to make this challenging, fair and fun. Deleting app.

The tutorial function and pip count are great ideas. The issue is whether the randomizer is working all the time for dice rolls. My test: I tested by placing the level at expert and always playing the tutor-suggested best move —so that it is in effect the computer is playing itself in expert mode. Still, the computer won the majority of times (it should approximate 50%). Update: I keep coming back to this app despite the concern about the randomizer code -because of the tutor feature, pip count, and the indicator of the player is up or down indicator. Thanks for to the author for the reply to my initial review. One thought: Is it possible to generate the string of roles before play, and then to make that screen viewable at any time? That might address the concerns raised in these reviews and/ or ID the source of the problem in the randomizer? Again thanks for the game.

...in AI’s final 5 rolls. Typical way the AI ends their games for the “win”. You will get one meaningless dbl, several very low rolls and several single bear-offs while that happens. Not to mention that that “win” started with AI having 2 checkers on the bar which got back in in 1 roll despite there being 2 open spots (avg time on the bar for AI is fewer than 3 rolls, yours will be 4-5). All the other allegations of perfect rolls going for AI and against player many more times than not are accurate. Too bad it’s so badly rigged; the interface is good. I have played bg for over 40 years and have played ~500 games on this app so this is not mere opinion. I have deleted this app.

This is a terrible terrible terrible game the randomness is so predictable as you can work read by the other reviews that people have said are used to think I was just bad but every time the computer seems to go first and every time I leave something unprotected he justHappens to come up with the perfect role and it’s not just every other time or something like that it’s every time and he’s just bogus and lying about how his artificial intelligence works it almost seems like he’s rolling the dice two or three times just to come up with the correct number I don’t know don’t waste your time on it

Cheats. Waste if time. Developers are liars and cheaters.

The game is free. It cpu is the best I’ve played. So why can’t you deliver random dice rolls that come close to resembling real life? Why wouldn’t you? So close to great, but after 2 month playing regularly, i can tell you, don’t waste your time.

I enjoyed this in the beginning but one can only win a few times and then the dice ALWAYS throws the perfect roll and gets out too conveniently. Or when we each have 4 pips left who gets doubles? Of course. The rolls just aren’t fair to the human player at all. So away this game goes.
