Ratings and Reviews
To shelf
I’ll start off with the only two negatives I have found is that firstly there are a lot of adds which is a little off putting and secondly there is a glitch after adds have been shown where you return to the game the counters are smaller the they were, after a few adds you can see the counters…this only happens occasionally though.
The positives are that the previous two issues can be resolved by playing offline, the game is entertaining and well put together. Overall I would definitely recommend this download.
Not random rolling
Update as this game is now so awful I’ve deleted it:
I wrote the review some time so. Recently, the game has become almost unplayable. I understand free games need to carry adverts, but they always used to be between matches. Suddenly this has changed and ads now appear in the middle of a game it even as you are making a move. Click on the cross to remove the ad and either nothing happens or it changes to a different screen for the ad. It has ruined the program and made matches unbearable. I shall be deleting this ruined app.
Original review
At the hard level, the program awards itself far too many perfect rolls and doubles, and gets off the bar at the first or second attempt nearly every time, even when you have five points covered. The human player, meanwhile, usually gets stuck for up to ten rolls. That is not expert playing, that’s just fiddling the dice. At harder levels, the program should play with more intelligence, not just better rolls, and it proves the rolls are not random. As it is, the program does not play intelligently, and so despite the cheating, over a long match (say, first to 7 or 9 points) a decent human player will win at least 75% of the time. Consequently, this game is no real challenge and ultimately unsatisfying.
Mr Corazon writes a review
I have found that on a couple of occasions it doesn’t play by the rules. I have always understood if you can play both dice, then that is what you have to do. The game enforces this but has failed to do so for itself. I love this app for its speed and ease of use, however after reading disgruntled reviews about the not so random dice, I am finally and reluctantly beginning to agree. I can literally predict the AI’s dice rolls based on what I offer. On acey deucy I always win the roll but once in a hundred on nack gammon. Such a shame. It’s great it has 4 game options. I would love this app if it fully embraced other versions of backgammon like other apps with not so fast and good UI. Great, but room to improve.
