Backgammon by George 应用的评论

Dice rolls are very unfair. Ai always rolls what is needed to win or land on unprotected stones.

I was enjoying this game on the Medium level, but once I stepped up to the Hard level it became apparent that the rolls were not random. The AI gets the roll it needs WAY too often. I don’t understand why game designers think this makes the game more enjoyable-it doesn’t. It just makes it more frustrating, causing me to delete the app. This means I won’t be watching any more of the ads. Fairly counterproductive, in my opinion.

Be prepared for this app to 'cheat' on the "expert" level through non-random dice-rolling output, both for itself as well as the opponent (you) - not just occasionally, but consistently. It's an intensely well-done, fun (and simultaneously irritating) app.

I love this game. The speed and the strategy are on point. Everyone should download and play!

Addictive. Loved it on my laptop, great to have it on my phone now.

the AI on this game is great and the varying levels of difficulty are challenging to beat

Had same problem as previous poster. Advise from App developer said, delete and re-download. Worked perfectly. Glad to have this old friend back!

I have latest OS and the app is stuck in the intro picture where when you tap it's supposed to start the game. Nothing starts!

Since I upgraded to iOS 7, whenever I am playing the computer and can't move, the whole game freezes up. Please fix! I have been playing this for years and need my backgammon!

It will start and play, but hangs when doubling, when player (not computer) can't move, and always at the end of the game.

this game is like most (all) i have played....it cheats! it ALWAYS gets the roll to take you out. At end game it consistantly gets doubles to kick your butt. Now, I don't expect to win every game but when the rolls are stacked against you it gets very frustrating. I have now given up on all apps for this game as they ALL cheat in the AI's favor. I would give it less than 1 star if I could.

I love backgammon but never found a decent game for Ninentdo DS. So, when I got my new ipod touch I started looking for this game right away. It has great graphics and I do not find playing against the computer to be one-sided. Glad I got this version, very nice!

Does everything I want in a Backgammon game. Great A.I. for the computer opponent.

As noted by others, I have the same observations about the dice simulation. I suggest adding a dice counter feature that counts the number of combinations rolled by each player each game. (1:1-0, 1:2-4, 1:3-2, etc). It would also be better if the points could be reset.

Turn it on "difficult" and all of a sudden the game starts rolling itself a whole mess of doubles. Meanwhile, you start rolling 1-2 over and over again. The cheating is just brazen. Not worth the money.

This thing so obviously cheats. Why is it so hard to find a game that just randomly rolls the dice?

Plays a great game of backgammon. Easy and intuative to use. Lots of fun.

I tried all the free backgammon games and was disgusted each time at how the dice rolls obviously favored the computet, so I decided to pay for one in hopes I would find one more fair. I researched many and the reviews for this one gave me hope that someone had finally written a game that was pretty fair in its dice rolls. I bought it, and two weeks later I did the suggested update. Big mistake. I had been pleasantly surprised at how fair it actually was to that point. Now it's just like all the crappy free versions. The computer gets an inordinate number of high number doubles and rarely gets stuck waiting to reenter the game after getting picked off. Conversely, I have rolled and rolled and ROLLED high number doubles waiting to reenter when the computer only had pips on the fifth and sixth spots. I am more disappointed than I can say at this "update" that clearly skews the game in favor of the computer. Before the update I was very happy with this game, even though it ran a bit slowly. Now I'm sorry I purchased it.

Nice looking game, fun to play, good challenge. Love the sounds and shake to roll feature.

Really like a lot about this game -BUT...two complaints 1) AI seems to roll a lot of doubles at crucial junctures (am playing at the hard level) 2) no way to reset score unless you delete & reinstall app ADDENDUM: changed to 'hardest' setting. Seems fairer - AI rolls more appropriate # of doubles.

Definitely the best looking iPhone Backgammon game I have seen. And fun to play. Great graphics, cool sounds, and fair (no cheating) strong AI.

I love this app. The graphics are clean and simple and don't detract from the purpose of the game. The AI is challenging but fair, and the interface works perfectly. Five stars!

I had originally got the previous version of this game and thought "what moron wrote this program?". This updated version has great AI and is completely realistic. Apparently less Bong smoking during the writing of this masterpiece. Great Job!!!

The graphic design and features are well done, and it seems very fair, but the AI isn't real good. I've won 40/52 pts against the highest level so far. Guess I'll keep looking for a BG app that is both fair and offers a challenge.

Pretty fun and awesome graphics! 

Best backgammon game for iPhone

Ok, I have my setting set to play the computer's AI. So why am I having to roll the dice when it's the computer's turn??? The computer moves by itself, but you have to touch the dice in order to roll it's turn? And there's no setting to turn this off! I am not sure why all the 5 stars. It's ok, but not fantastic.

The game was fun and challenging with easy to figure out controls. The game is very configurable which I love. It's a great game for those just learning backgammon or those that have played it forever. I always like to give some positive critisism with each review, something that can be made better, but in this case I just can not think of anything that needs to be changed. If I had to stretch for something I think I would like an option at the end of the game to 'quit or play again' As it is, you see the game stats then it starts a new game. This game is well worth the cost and I suggest everyone give it a try.

This game is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I love how it plays, and all of the options it has. The ONLY thing I wish it had, and this is minor (but would make it PERFECT for me! LOL) is if you could change the colors of the pieces. I LOVE the Pirate board, but would LOVE to be able to change the pieces to make them custom to my favorite colors. Thank you so much for such a great game!!! Ive bought most all of the other backgammon games on iTunes, and this one is by FAR the BEST!!!!!!

This game the best of the best, has the excellent drawing and as an excellent gameplay. I play Backgammon with friends. thx for great game ^_^

The graphics are very good. The boards are vey nice looking. There are 4 different ones to choose from. I would only recommend this game for more experienced players though. There is a help file but it only covers the basics of the game. It will not help you learn to play if you have never played backgammon before. The is no explanation of the board layout or strategy. Also when you press the hint button it automatically makes a move for you. That's not a hint that's the computer moving for you. And I can't change the setting for the move animation. Every time I set it to slow it doesn't work. It resets to fast by itself. Which makes the computer moves so fast it's hard to see what move it made. It makes it fell like you are playing speed backgammon. The AI is very good too even on the easy level setting. Overall a good game.
