Pros and cons of Backgammon. app for iPhone and iPad
Backgammon. app good for
o from "remnants leading to possible heritage...", a great one
works well, good AI. could use settings to increase or decrease difficulty.
Great graphics and programmed by a real player...except it always leaves a pip in opponents home till the very end nearly guaranteeing the human the advantage.
This is a good game. Just started yesterday and never played online before. Will reserve the fifth star till Ive played more. No complaints so far.
After playing another version of this game I can say that I really like the odds on this game. There was no occurrence of randomness in the other game. If the opponent needed lets say a 1 to be able to take one of my chips, they ALWAYS got it every time. On this game its much random and the opponent rarely gets what they want and neither do I. It plays with a very smooth play style. I will definitely refer others to this game :)
Learning how to play Backgammon and enjoying the application.
Some bad moments
Good app with the easy level being too easy and the hard level being too lucky. Has to be a "fix" in the AI as the house almost always gets the number it needs and it rolls doubles at a rate of 2:1 vs. the player. Not sure I would spend the $2 again
The computer I play against is obviously retarded. It does not take the right moves all the time. It leaves itself vunerable at all times. I just about always get 2 to 3 points per game. It is way too easy to beat the computer. A monkey with a brain tumor could beat it.
I like the game design - it is simple and not forcing ads down my throat. However, the play is... Dumb. The AI has no logic and I can get backgammon 90% of the time. It would be 100%, but it cheats with the dice rolls. The rolls seemed fair at first, but then it gets to a point where the AI gets exactly what it needs EVERY time! And it rolls A LOT of doubles. The dice rolls defy the odds.
This is the most-lame app I have ever purchased.Rigged! No random rolls whatsoever.Takes away any fun that could be had. Its a shame.
The free version = you win every game. Buying the ad free version = you win every easy and almost every normal level game and lose almost every hard version game. The dice rolls certainly do not seem random in my experience.
Definitely not random dice. The higher difficulty you make the game, the more its rigged by doubles and non-random dice results. How can you use skill against overwhelming opponent doubles by the computer? Ridiculous!
