Backgammon NJ HD Reviews

I have seen my game improve

It’s so easy to think you played a bad game because you lost or a good game because you won. This app helps you evaluate your game objectively. I’m still not a great player, but my game has improved significantly.

Best backgammon currently out there; play it daily.

The following was a canned offering that I cannot disagree with. Follows standard moves for aggressive players; great learning tool most of the time. Almost never makes dumb moves unless it's being really aggressive. Strongly recommended.

It cheats

Never have I been able to hit when it is at the end of the game

Not Ramdom dice rolls.

This is totally biased and dice rolls are 100% ‘fixed’ there is nothing random about the dice generator! Author will say it is but if it is why can you see the roll sequence? Random should be random - if you can see the dice roll then it’s not random - it’s fixed.

Outstanding Game

Very strong. Very impressive. Probably on par with Jellyfish (PC) and BGBlitz (Mac) at a tiny fraction of the cost. And after playing on the iPad, playing on a Mac feels positively 1990's. However for a more recreational player, Backgammon HD (versus Backgammon HD NJ) though not nearly as strong has a much more elegant, realistic and intuitive GUI, I think. PS: I see no evidence whatsoever that the dice are rigged. After playing a few thousands points, bravo, fabulous. Not for those with frail egos!! Better maybe than BGBlitz and playing on an iPad is so much better. Update: after playing nearly 5,000 games, wow! Bravo, Bravo, what a great app! After playing nearly 10,000 games, what an outstanding app. After playing 30,000 games, on an iPad Mini....expert mode, the value for money of this app is extraordinary. Thank you!

Addictive app

My most used leisure app. Great game combining skill and luck; believe the dice rolls are random as advertised. Except when I lose ;-) Expert level is very challenging.

Odd

keep trying for a nickname

Move ratings differ greatly from experts. Also amazing the amount of times entry with opponent only having the 6 point or 3 point covered. It’s a nice app why is it rigged?

Playing easy from expert

designer for life

I win most games when I play in the easy mode. Go figure. It’s more pleasing to win every now and again. In expert mode, I rarely won.

Fraud

Shuffle fails/No Support

Developer denials to the contrary, the algorithm absolutely cheats, denying re-entry to the board to its advantage. I’m a high level player and the ratio of self-serving rolls is unbalanced. Unheard of sequences of self-favoring rolls unmatched for the human component. You can sense when it’s about to happen and in that sense, the game seldom disappoints. Fraud.

Amazing

Without a doubt the finest iPad app ever written. Countless hours of absolute pleasure with this amazing game.
