Backgammon (Byterun)

Good learning tool, but software tends to cheat. A lot like real folks: win, no matter what. Like it.

Fair time-waster

This "free" version offers few options and no doubling. I had a little difficulty getting the pieces to move. Id look for competing games that offer more options for free and are more sensitive to repeated touches.

BACKGAMMON

Ive played Backgammon for many many years and ever since I found the game on my tablet Ive had more fun than I can express! ENJOY everyone!!

Easy to beat

Entirely too easy. Havent lost a game yet. Its almost like it doesnt level up at all.

Rolls are fixed unfairly against you

Paid for this upgrade, otherwise its set on easy. When upped the computer/opponent to difficult, the game just has the "house" roll doubles at the end. Repeatedly. Consistently. Game after game.

Fair!

Other apps favor the computer. This one has more realistic rolls and makes the game fair. I deleted the other apps just for this one!

RIGGED

The game is totally rigged in favor of the computer. When you have an open piece it rolls the exact number it needs to put you on the bar EVERYTIME!!!!! It also rolls the exact number it needs to get off the bar EVERYTIME!!!! Even with only one open slot it can take you 8-10 rolls to get off the bar, yet the computer does it in 1 or 2. Even when you do get ahead a bit, all off a sudden you start rolling nothing but aces and twos,but the computer keeps rolling doubles till it catches up. Bottom line...no fun to play!!

Great fun

Animation is great!

Like it so far

Seems like a pretty good game so far. Nice graphics and a fair computer. Lets see what happens after this review.

Good teacher

Works as advertised. The colored hints make reading the rules easier to understand and learn the game.

Board is wrong

A backgammon board has alternating color points. This board has white points beside each other. It is very annoying because it helps you visualize your moves. An even roll moves same color to same color. An odd roll moves from one color to the other color. I like the app other than that.

Perfect for IPad

It is rare to find a game that allows two people to play face to face on the same device. Additionally, the computer dice rolls are more realistic and dont stack the odds against the player. The choice of player options are basic and are all that is needed. Appearance is attractive and not cluttered or distracting. Over all, a very enjoyable game.

Great

Computer needs to be more aggressive or able to adjust level of difficulty.

Pay to play

The human interface is very good on this. Easy to move, easy to undo moves, and quick to play. However, if you want to play anything more then a very simplistic computer opponent, you must pay for the privilege.

Backgammon Review

Fun brain teaser. Needs to increase in difficulty after each win. Think TD backgammon.

Too fast

I like this very much but the dice for the computer opponent roll too fast. I cant even see what they are they are playing before its my turn. Makes It hard to strategize. Its pretty easy to beat the computer. I find it much more challenging with people.

Free backgammon

Its too easy..I win almost every game..

Great version

Easy to use and fun and fast. The computer version is not very challenging, but I may have not figured out how to change levels yet.

Nice game

Ive always liked backgammon scammers a blast – and no pop ups

Cant get it to work

iPhone 6s+ on latest version of iOS - I tapped all over but cant figure out how to move my pips. How can it be this broken?
