Backgammon by George Hack 2.03 + Redeem Codes

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 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.

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.

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

It gives only unwanted numbers to user and only the most wanted numbers to computer. So, you dont have any chance to win.
Its waste if time to download this application.

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

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

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.

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.
