RohuGammon - Classic Backgammon

Play against a friend, or against the computer. The computer has five separate AIs with different strategies. Some are aggressive attackers; others play defensively. You never know which strategy the computer is going to employ, so it's nearly impossible to guess how the computer will play.
To speed the game, you can enable auto-roll and disable undo, creating a fast-paced game. Play multi-game matches where scoring a gammon or backgammon can earn you more points. When the outcome of the game seems inevitable, hit "auto pilot" and let the computer finish the game for you.

Great User Interface

The game works exactly as I wanted it to play. No need to read instructions.
Backgammon for beginners to experts

I am not a backgammon wiz but this game makes it very easy to quickly get back up to speed when I have not played for a while. The different levels are ideal for starting easy and moving up and the highlight hints are extremely helpful. Once you get to the higher levels, the game is extremely challenging. I highly recommend this version.
Great backgammon for all player levels

I love watching the game solve itself when I get stuck. No need to know the rules. The game makes it easy for novice players and challenging for experts.
Great Game

I haven't played backgammon in years, but this app made it easy to pick it up again. The single player mode is very challenging. And I like that it supports two players, just like a real backgammon board.
First match looks good
Doubles beat me every time
Just played my first match on this app at the hard level and it was good. I thought it was challenging enough and didn't feel like the dice rolls showed any favoritism. I don't really care for the style of board or the style of moving but those are cosmetic As long as the competition is good and I don't feel cheated against then it is a good product to me.

12 many fubars
This ap stinks. Opponent gets more doubles than any possible game in real life.
Joins the Other Bad Games

Too bad, since the last update it wins 95% of the opening roles, gets doubles twice what statistics would predict, while you get doubles half the time UNLESS you either you can't use if because you are blocked, or it doesn't matter. And 2/3 times if you leave 1 pip open EVEN IF IT TAKES A 5-6, the game will get it. Deleting.
I play it regularly-solid app

No complaints. It's never crashed, the ads are not intrusive, and it's a good design. I only wished there was an expert level; I'd like more challenge when playing the computer.
