Backgammon ▽▲ Hack 1.3 + Redeem Codes

Two gripes about this game. 1) When moving checkers off the board, the computer requires you to move the lowest number first before you can move the higher number. I’ve been playing backgammon for over 40 years and have never heard of this “rule”. Not all app games make you move checkers off in this way. 2) For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to “undo” a move. If someone knows the secret, please post it here

I’ve been playing this for over a year now and loved it compared to versions on other apps. Now I’m starting to hate it. As other reviewers have stated it seems the opponent’s throw is pretty much bang on score each time, no matter what you do. I’ve been way ahead many times, sometimes with half the pieces cleared, but I still lose as it throws exactly the right combination to have no alternative moves other than to leave a counter exposed. Then the opponent just happens to get exactly the right combination to take control of the remainder of the game and proceed to win. I often shout out exactly what the opponent will throw before the dice have even spun! “They’ll throw a 5! Oh they did, what a surprise!”. “They need a 3, oh look at that, a 3!” I’d understand if it was occasional and I get that it’s luck and probability, but come on, it’s too often!!! It completely ruins the enjoyment of the game.

The dice are rigged which completely removes any enjoyment. You can pretty much predict the oppositions dice result if you leave yourself exposed with just one counter. Of course, there are times when you are programmed to win and you get the perfect dice too but it’s not enjoyable this way. Since my score has increased I see that I am being paired against opponents with higher scores themselves. Their game style is completely different, their moves often non-sensical, leaving themselves exposed yet if it’s “their turn” to win they will still win even with their erratic play. This non-sensical play style though, which I have noticed with numerous numerous players in this new scoring band, even makes me wonder whether opponents are indeed genuine players and makes me feel I’m playing against a computer the whole time. This is the cherry on the cake for me. I’m off!

I've played BG for years on my phone, but this version seems to be different. When moving chips off board, it forces you to take the lower number first. Example, if you roll 6 & 1, but no chip on the 6 spot, but a chip on the 5 & 1 spot, you can't move the 5 off the board, it wants to move the 5 to the 4 spot, unless you use the 1 dice to move off the chip on the 1 spot. Also, if you roll a pair of 5's & are in the move chips off the board phase, with no chips on the 5 spot, it will let you move a chip on the 6 spot off the board, when it should just move the 6 chip to the 1 space.

Also, when trying to move a chip to a spot on the board shown as an option i.e. It shows as a possible move, you must try several times to move it.

As others have said, the computer is very predictable in its moves. Always moves chip from farthest spot first, unless it has opportunity to hit 1 of your chips.

I like the music but wish you could play a full game instead of just 1 round. The game should continue until you or computer reaches 5 or higher points first.

Playing against the computer, even in “hard” mode, the computer uses no proper backgammon strategy at all, meaning if you know anything about Backgammon, you can always win. The computer never protects open pieces or build up its home and always goes for picking up your open piece even if it’s a bad play. The few times the computer even had the chance to take pieces off the board at the end of the game, it always makes terrible choices, like moving pieces forward even when other pieces could have been moved off. It’s no challenge and not fun after the initial thrill of humiliating your computer opponent once or twice.

When bearing off, it forces moves that are not forced - if you have men on the 5 and 2 points and roll 6 3, you should be able to use the 6 to bear off from 5 and the 3 to bear off from 2; instead, it forces you to use the 3 to move from 5 to 2 and then the 6 to bear off from 2. Also, if you double and then win with a gammon, you should get 4 points. It only gives error you 2.

Finally, it colors the pips wrong. An even number should move you to the same color, but adjacent pips on opposite sides of the bar are colored the same. That gets confusing.

I don’t care for the user interface either, but that’s just personal preference.

Level of play is pretty challenging, which is great, but what’s super annoying is trying to move the chips.
— Drag and drop works only a fraction of the time
— It allows you to lift a drag opponents’ chips?!
— Single tap works only sometimes, making you want to double tap, which sometimes exhausts both of your moves
— Single tap feature is also annoying in that if you hover your finger above the screen too long, the game makes an unwanted move for you

Backgammon I like the game but I used to play when you got all of your pieces in your section at end of game you used to have to have the correct number to put in not take the closest one I wish there was that option is that option available? Otherwise I have loved this s game forever I just feel the other way is fairer thanks for taking my survey

Downloaded the backgammon app and now I’m addicted! I play a lot at work during slow times or lunch. Game is very easy to navigate. Some may not like the highlighted “moves” because it might be considered cheating. But, it helps you learn STRATEGY. I play single player and the app can be quite challenging. I actually bought a nice board recently. If you like backgammon, this is the game app for you.

I’ve been on the hunt to find a solid backgammon game that helps me better my game. It seemed to be promising but it all fell apart when I upped the difficulty scale to “hard”. The only change I noticed was that it took a lot longer for the game to make its move. Especially when it rolled a pair. By the time the 4th move is made its a solid 20sec later. Really? Fail.

I do have to give it kudos for not rolling back to back pairs like other games did when upping the difficulty.

Still leaves a lot to be desired. Please update and I will change my review.
