Get if you like frustration

If you want to see the future of AI then get this and watch it cheat. 90% of the time if you leave a piece open it’s taken. I don’t even bother watching.

The way to beat this game is to play conservatively. NEVER leave a piece exposed if you can avoid it. Block the computer’s pieces from advancing where ever possible. Keep hitting the computer’s open pieces aggressively. This game cheats like the devil and that will make you a better player. After getting frustrated and leaving, I eventually came back with the idea of trying to beat it KNOWING it cheats: - when your piece is left open, the computer will roll the right numbers and hit your open piece(s) most of the time. - In the end game, if the computer is not blocked but is behind, it often rolls doubles for itself to achieve a ‘come from behind’ win. Here’s an example of how dice rolls favor the computer: when it offers you a chance to resign or accept a double, and you have one piece open, if you do not resign the next roll for the computer will hit your open piece most of the time. If you have 2 pieces open at the moment you accept the double, the computer will hit your 2 open pieces most of the time. To test preferential dice tolls in favor of the computer, I played an entire game using hints (computer moves for you). The computer won, and some of my pieces were still in the first quadrant due to getting bumped so much. That’s a Backgammon win for the computer +3 points and a massive loss for the opposing side, when playing against itself using hints for my side. I’ve never lost like that when playing on my own. Lastly, I like this game because the board looks nicer than others I’ve played and dice rolls sound nicer than any other.

The moves are quick and precise. Just what you are looking for. You can easily set random numbers and use built in options. I have tried dozens. This is a keeper

I always have a good laugh when people write reviews that claim this game can’t cheat because it rolls the dice in advance and provides stats on the number of doubles for both players. There is nothing to stop this app from generating dozens (or even hundreds) of rolls before it picks one set that favors the game. I’ve played 100s of games on this app and win 48% of the time. But if you pay close attention as you go you’ll see how remarkably “lucky” the game is at consistently get the just rolls it needs to turn around an unfavorable board. It is a smart app but the smarts are all in generating 100 rolls that makes it hard to beat.
Backgammon is sometimes fair

You learn the formulas of this Backgammon Game. Barley winning and opposition rolls doubles and wins. But I am addicted...what does that say?
Plays like a house game.

Having tracked the doubles for player vs. the computer, the computer has a huge lead. Very suspicious use of the doubling cube as well.
Don”t buy it, don’t bother installing it …

I play backgammon for many years and I’m really sorry I payed for this … the dice distribution is horrible, not even close to a realistic random generator … Yes, if you look at the statistics it seems to be fair, however if you play the game you soon realize that something is wrong. I wish I could get my money back.
Easily the best

If you’re interested in improving your game, this is by far the best I’ve seen, better than BG Galaxy…. I recommend the complete analysis package!
