Absolute Backgammon Reviews

Great Backgammon … based on superb desktop version

bradleyks

I’ve tried a whole bunch of backgammon games on the Mac and found Absolute Backgammon to be absolutely wonderful. I’m a fairly experienced player who thought I understood the game pretty well — I’m been playing since the 1970s and have read books on backgammon. I initially thought that AB played an unconventional game but I have to say that after being whipped by it in match play, I learned from it … changed my approach to the game. I can now give it a good match and have applied what I learned to playing with friends to rather nice results :) The iPad version of the game is wonderfully executed, too, with the same brains as the desktop version. And very nice touch-screen playing, once I got the hang of it.

Love it!

I can’t believe the one review I just read! I have had this game on my ipad for a while now and love playing it as much as I love it on my computer. It did take me a couple of minutes of playing to figure out rolling the dice - but that is me, not the game! I have played this quite a bit now and certainly have no idea what the reviewer was talking about.

Good game

I don't get the negative comments. The game is great, those probably don't have a clue of probabilities and further knowledge of the game. Not always ignorance is a bliss.

Good game!

I have used this game in several versions on several Apple devices and find it gets better, version by version, and is consistently challenging. It beats me about 2 to 1, since it is more consistent in tracking the odds pro/con doubling, accepting/declining a double than I am! Highly recommend buying it, and being humble when it gets "lucky". paul r

This game is great! The graphics are good and the game is easy to use. It is more challenging than others I have played n a computer. I have been playing backgammon for decades and with very experienced players, and I enjoy this game immensely. I highly recommend!

Best Backgammon Game I've Found

Great game from a developer who is responsive and updates when needed. Easy to play and pretty fully featured for an iPad version. Endless hours of fun. Level of play is one of the great features.... Good graphics too...

Highly Recommended

Excellent game! One of most challenging I've played. In many of the other Backgammon games available, I find that the Computer Opponent makes some pretty horrible strategy mistakes. Your's does not. Although, it does seem that your Computer Opponent takes chances that I wouldn't, it seems to pay-off. I read one of the other reviews, claiming that the Computer Opponent was cheating, suggesting that the rolls weren't quite "random", and at first, I must confess, I thought so too. However, after playing for a few weeks, I've concluded that this is not the case, I find that I'm able win approximately 50% of the time, and believe it's made me a better player. Highly recommended for avid Backgammon players.

I've never had so many opportune doubles thrown against me. Garbage. Complete waste of money. Has anyone ever heard of a true random dice throw? Only gets a star cuz I can't dish out negatives. Do not waste your time here.

Low IQ so cheats

What this AI lacks in game skills it makes up in rolling exactly what it needs. Not just one roll it needs, but for entire games at a time. I can win if it lets me, but most of the time it ensures that is impossible. Waste of money. Waste of time. Nice graphics. Nice sounds. Too bad.

I can't count the times I have been about to win, when the game will suddenly get three or more acey deuceys in a row with all the extra rolls hitting double sixes. Happens to often to be random.
