Backgammon - Board Games

Computer always wins. This leads u to loose interest and not motivated. Uninstalling it.

Good way to learn, but the game rolls itself doubles a ridiculous amount of times.

The dice rolling is always in favor of the opponent. Very rarely can win.

The algorithm is predictably biased. Every time I have an end-game advantage, with almost certainty, the opponent rolls doubles no less than 4 and gains a collection advantage and wins. In addition, in the collection process, I systematically select void slots, whereas the opponent doesn’t.

Gives computer side MANY more doubles than player, irritates by interrupting game for ads, makes bad moves using auto-play. I don’t mind an ad between games but it’s infuriating to get interrupted every few moves! Update: developer assured dice rolls are random but they’ve obvious not actually played the game much. Multiple doubles for the computer aren’t just “occasional”, it happens very regularly.

It doesn’t automatically allow wins

Love Backgammon. However, this is programmed to give the computer opponent so many doubles (and I hardly get any)especially if there’s a threat of you winning! If you leave a guy open, guaranteed the computer will roll the dice in its favor so it can jump you.

A fun game

Way too many commercials in the middle of the game to find it enjoyable to play

EDIT: I wrote this review before reading other reviews. Funny how most of them are identifying the same problem. EDIT 2: now that the game statistics have been removed, you can no longer compare the number of doubles between you and the computer at the end of each game. However, you can still remember them. Still doesn’t change the fact that the computer consistently rolls 5s and 6s as doubles while you as the player frequently come up with 1s and 2s. This game is well done and fun, but frustrating due to dice rolls. My doubles are frequently 1s. Computer’s doubles consist of 5s and 6s. Fine. Adapt and overcome. Just played game on Medium setting. I had all tokens in home row and even had 1 put away. Computer had several tokens outside home row, including one clear on the other side of the board. I knew I was going to win. BUT NO! I proceeded to roll a 1 - 2 combo for most of my remaining rolls in the game. Computer rolled everything it needed to get all its tokens in home row and then put away. Of course it won. I lost by 1. Cmon man! There’s no way that happens with real dice. Please make the dice flat-out random!
