Cheat cheat cheat

I understand that lucky rolls are just a part of the game, Ive played it for years. This is a more fun game guessing what "random" roll the computer is going to have. Id say I guess about 80% correct.

AI is crap

Well, you get to play the game. The AI is crap. If you play against the hard computer, the strategy doesnt change from medium. The computer just gives is the rolls they need to win. Ex. I was winning until it rolled double sixes 3 times in a row. This has happened more than once.

Difficulty is not luck

Seems that the harder the difficulty the luckier the opponent. If the difficulty is set to hard the opponent is not necessarily better at the game just more luck for them and less for you. The opponent will meet many doubles while youll get none unless you are pinned on the bar and the roll wont do you any good. Its ok if your playing head to head with you friend.

Bad gameplay, not random

Played a single "single player" game. Computer opponent rolled doubles at least every other roll. Also, who ever has a player who play to a home board to the upper right? Lame...deleted.

Great game. I feel the dice is rigged sometimes. Too predictable that when I have an open pin, it is going to get hit. Overall great for past time.

Let that dice "1"Go!

What a joke of a game . I love backgammon,but this is....

Love it!!!

I very like this iPhone version of classic desktop game!!! Nice app!!!

Great game! I really like this, it works really well for me! Once in awhile, it seems like the "iPhone" is favoring itself, but, then again, maybe thats just me !

Not much better but no worse than others

Ok app. Computer opponent is suspiciously lucky but overall no worse than other apps.

Needs work.

The interface needs work. I sure wish the app allowed for feedback in-app. So many little things that can make the user experience so much better.

Horse rap

On the hard level.. the rolls ALWAYS goes doubles or more.. but for the player it NEVER does... always rigged for the computer! #ridiculous DONT GET THIS GAME, unless you play easy mode all the time

Awful!

The board is backwards. The Atari 64 had better graphics than this game.

Crap

They get you to spend money and the dice are so one sided it is unbelievable. Save your money and time. This is garbage. Others much better

Computer cheats

Random number generator is fixed. Computer gets the most improbable roles at key times on a regular basis.

Lucky AI

This game is fine for learning the rules and strategy of the game or playing with a friend. But the AI is heavy on the Artificial and light on the Intelligence: the computer is unbelievably lucky, always rolling doubles or just the right combo. I quickly grew frustrated and bored with it. Add in more persistent pop-up ads at game launch with recent updates and it has gotten downright annoying.

Sound drives me nutz!

got use to the app.s obvious doubles + lucky rolls (actually improved my game strategy); but cant play in bed next to sleeping mate or in public w/o getting looks - no way to lower/mute "rolling dice & wah,wah,wah" volume!

Rigged

There is absolutely no way this game is based on random dice throws. Yes it might be a good game but the computer ALWAYS rolls the dice with incredible odds.

Its not a true randomized!

This game is rigged on the hard setting. Never seen so many perfect rolls by the computer side. Started happening more about 3 months ago. Have played hundreds of games prior to that with much higher win percentage. No, its not age!

Who wants to play a cheater?

So youre winning and then your opponent rolls 4 doubles in a row? Your opponent just happens to roll whatever number is needed to knock out any piece left vulnerable? Fixed dice is not a level.

Rigged

The opponents rolls in this game are so rigged at the difficult level. Dont waste your time.
