Absolute Backgammon Lite

Dice rolls, but you can’t move any pieces! Truly a waste of time, no chance I would buy !

This was a good game, especially in Acey Deucy mode, but not anymore. Several functions that used to be available have been disabled in an attempt to get you to pay for the overpriced full version. I’ll be deleting it.

The engine for this game is horrible. I just played in Acey Deucey mode, I rolled one Acey Deucey to the CPU’s 9, and my 14 doubles to CPU’s 25... I Still won the game by 15 points. Bad engine and bad roll stats.

It doesn't cheat quite as outrageously as the Mac version of the game, only about 70% of the time. It's a shame, if it wasn't for the crooked dice rolls, this would easily be a 5 star game.

The game cheats when playing against the computer. It constantly gets the roll it needs. I can predict the roll it's gonna get by where my pips are. 🤔🙄

I love the look and sound of an the actual game. But it's rigged against the player. Most of the time the computer gets perfect dice for the play. Not fair. Why can't the dice be set for straight random?

This backgammon gets quite an edge by picking the dice to suit the situation. It has a consistent but not constant bias towards good rolls for the program and poor rolls for the human. It is common for people to think a program cheats, and I usually dismiss the comments and am very reluctant to even now make this accusation. I don't have a problem with this cheating being an option in the configuration of how to play the game. On the plus side, being an option, but using cheating as a way to increase wins from a computer program makes playing this program useless to practice for playing against humans. If you adapt to its playing style, you will play very conservatively, because taking chances is unlikely to pay off. Some degree of stats are kept, and the bias shows in the number of doubles, and the total dice count. I think the lower skill levels of the computer program do not cheat. The dice rolls (a couple hundred) should be, on request, copied to the clipboard at the outset of the game. If a person uses that info to cheat, they are only hurting themselves. To be clear, I think this kind of cheating is legitimate as part of the game if it clear that the program is doing that . A good program, like a good human player, does not need to cheat.
