Great, Simple, Fair

Lisistrata24

It's a good game, visually attractive, simple to play. After looking at some of the other backgammon games available on iTunes, I realized a common complaint was that the computer seemed to cheat by giving itself good rolls, excessive doubles, etc. Well, the dice on this game seem quite fair. I counted the number of doubles for several games, and the computer and I had the same number. Nor did the computer constantly get perfect rolls to get itself out of trouble. The downsides of this game are that there is no doubling cube, no cumulative tally of games won and lost, and no way to play against another iPhone. But it's fun, fair, and easy to play. I've got no complaints.

Board design

susiech

lets you see and play the whole board. This app makes a great game easy to learn and develop and fun to play. A few technicals in this version on the iPad: checkers get stuck more before dropping in and closing the app doesn't fix a game freeze. Watch that helpful spotlight before it decides your moves.

Not very good...

I've tried a few backgammon games and this one is one of the worst I've tried. First of all, there's no doubling cube. Secondly, the movement of the pieces is awkward. If you don't position the checker exactly right, it will sit halfway on to the next space. Game play is very slow too. This game needs improved controls, specifically, give the option to just click where we want the checker to go rather than having to drag it all over the screen. Again, there's no doubling cube, why? Put in a game speed option to pick up the pace. I'd pass on this until game play is improved.

Good version

Been looking for a good backgammon variant, and I was pleasantly surprised. Gives a good game, nice graphics and the online multiplayer is an excellent bonus! For me, it was worth the money.

Great Game

This is one of my favorite apps. The visuals are excellent. It closely mimics an actual backgammon board. It freezes up occasionally, but only occasionally. When this happens, I simply uninstall and then reinstall it. The pluses far outweigh this one minus! Have you considered making available a version for playing acey-deucey? That would be simply awesome! Thanks for a great app! Update Review -- About the update: I had high hopes that the freeze-ups would have been addressed in the update, but, alas, 4 freezes today and all when the opponent rolled doubles and either didn't seem to know how to start playing the doubles, or partially played them and then stopped. Please, could someone there teach him to play his doubles rolls every time.

Beautiful visuals

The graphic styling of this backgammon game is very stylish, and the animation is very smooth. It's a very nice casual backgammon game. There is no doubling cube, that's true, but for the casual player, like my wife or myself, it's perfect for a quick game between errands. Playing on the iPad is very comfortable, much more so than on the smaller iPod screen. I haven't had trouble with the app itself, but a quick restart should cure any potential problems by clearing the iPad's memory. All in all, it's a good gaming experience, and very pleasing visually.

Poor tutor

Nothing bad to say about the stability, graphics or interface. Would love to know how multiplayer looks but after 3 days of trying to get a game on line........... No one is home. I guess I am the only one who bought this. Playing against the machine is a joke. As the levels increase the play level does not improve. Just the machines rolls. Horrible strategy from the bot even at the hardest level. But still hard to beat when it rolls doubles 6 times in a row! The only way to improve your game with this app is to play other humans.....but I have already covered that haven't I?

solid..please think about adding fibs support

Bhgfdchu

best backgammon game if you want to play on game center with a friend. in addition to adding doubling cube it would be great if you added support for fibs (internet bacgammon online community) . there is an app in the appstore that supports fibs but it is otherwise inferior to your app and it costs more. ps love that this works on both ipad and ipod/iphone.

Will not connect to remote friends

The while point of paying for this ap was to be able to play remotely. The connection function does NOT work.
