Extremely annoying, highly frequent and outright malicious ads
Totally frustrating. Ads every 2 moves or so and dice aren't random. the opponent always gets what he wants and i almost always roll at least 5 times to get 1 of 2 open numbers. deleting again.
the worst game and the most stupid developers behind it when they created the game, it is when to play against the computer. the computer calculates to roll the dice in the worst case scenario for the player and the best for the computer at the same time and multiple times in a row, I wish there was half star or minus, now I know why they are called "Easybrain" 😂😂.
Problems since the last update 4 days ago the game has been riddled with googleplay ads which end with opening Google Play. There is no way back to the game except by closing everything down and reopening the backgammon game. This is happening several times during a session of 10 minutes! For this reason I am uninstalling Backgammon-Board Game after years of playing I am sorry that your app is misbehaving and maybe you'll be able to fix the problem. Sadly, goodbye.
can't close this app.
ADs showing up during gameplay is unforgivable! goodbye!
too many ads in the middle of a game, it sucks!!!
AI is extremely one sided. always every roll of dice gives advantage to the AI.
tons of ads and the most unfair dice rolls of any backgammon game I've played.
computer cheats shamelessly.
Every time I play I lose every single time. I get close to winning the dice and keep on saying I can't move my pieces but my opponent gets 4 dice with high numbers on them and I don't. I'm upset cause every time I have to play I'm always losing. If I could win every once in awhile then I wouldn't be so upset but losing every single time gets to you. It's not just me saying this it's multiple people saying it maybe it's time you fixed your mistakes. If I didn't have to play this game I wouldn't.
unplayable due to number of ads that you cannot skip at all.
Trash, if you don't mind loosing unfair game then go for it. When game needs to play doubles, it almost always gets it, when player started winning the game finds it self getting more favorable dice than usual.
this game is so 1 sided, it's ridiculous. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Backgammon is to be enjoyed. This game is so frustrating, I deleted it and found a better, fairer one.
too many ads
there are move in this game that you cant play, when you do daily challenge, that you could do when your playing with a real life person face to face
way too many ads. no difficulty changer. seems like it has gotten harder but I am sick of the ads. multiple per game.
You can't win, everytime, I mean everytime I had one open piece the opponent would roll that number. Don't waste your time with this app.
The scripts aren't random. When you win, the system makes sure you lose on purpose
there is no enjoying the game because of all the interruptions of ads and etc.EVERY TWO AND A HALF MINUTES otherwise. it's great
Nothing random about this cheat of an app. No learning, no playing, always rigged.
not true to life. The developer didn't understand my comment. The game isn't true to life , no one would play as badly as the programme does. You maybe need to play the game with real people to see why it's not working , at least for me. I have over 59 years experience of the game
absolutely terrible how everytime in every game when you leave a piece by itself, the computer rolls the number to get your piece, and then you have to roll 4 or 5 times to get that piece back into play. when you need a number, you beef get it.
You have ads in the middle of the game.
please do not post anything derogatory about game, because they do retaliate against you.
terrible all adds are scammers and complete junk never play here again just got ripped off by denture add very terrible would not recommend this to anyone
cheats
Unplayable. It forces you to watch an ad every 5 turns, and there's no way to get past the ads without closing and restarting the app. F-
too many ads. don't get this game
can't elimiate offensive sexual ads 5+ in 4 games.
bots sucking all the joy out of the game, making stupid moves, manipulating the dice...why can't we play other humans? anyone know of a better app?
your best rolls happen when you are on the bar and cant use them. Dice rolls aren't random. ads are frequent, very long and inescapable.
Would be fun if the dice weren't loaded. Even on easy computer rolls what it needs 80% of the time. Disappointed! Downloaded the game again to see if it changed. It has not. Just about every roll the app gets what it needs. And every move you make it 90% counters perfectly with the dice roll.
Terrible! Everything about this game is terrible! Waste of time! Stupid adds every 30 seconds! Stupid algorithm! Not recommended!
It is impossible to play this game. There are several ads during each game. I wouldn't mind if there were multiple ads AFTER the game, but to constantly interrupt the game ulis ridiculous. There is no way to play against anyone other than the computer, which cheats. I installed and uninstalled within two games.
not random dice rolls. Uninstalling. Your random dice generator gives a disproportionate amount of doubles to the opponent and often crucial points in the gameplay.
I see a lot of people had similar experiences as I had, that made this game no fun to play. The dice rolls were absolutely ridiculous. I lost count on the number of times the exact same numbers would come up, in a row. One time I had the exact same numbers come up 4 out of 5 rolls. I also didn't like all the ads popping up continually during the games. Every 6 or 7 rolls an ad would pop up and always on the computers turn. DELETED!!!!
Too many ads and sucks!
Terrible AI. Not challenging. Feels like it is trying to loose.
I did not enjoy this You can't play online, you can't play double-player, and there's a lot of advertising.!
Too many ads
weak player, no cube
The game is good. The interface is good. I wanted to buy it, but it was crazy expensive. Why? uninstalling.
Like playing but the algorithm doesn't behave like normal game play. I don't mind loosing; however, the bot rolls what is needed to proceed more often than not. It is getting to predpredictable to continue to play and making moves to avoid getting sent to the bar when eventually you're forced to make moves so the bot will land on you.
you cant tell me computer gets 6 perfect rolls in a row to win. this is NOT random
Awful persistent and sneaky ads. Would pay but $20 for a simple app? Give me a break.
The game clames that everything is at random. However, the moment you are a little up or ahead of the "opponent" (I'm sure it's a computer) it start to give out the absolute worst dice. It's an addictive game but random not at all. But sure Jan you can believe that. I won 3 games out of about 40ish. Every time I got a lead it knocked me down to a loss even handing high doubles to the "opponent". Just a little sus if you ask me. Do better please.
too many ads. no rapid play at end of game.
