Haha, just as I expected. I downloaded this game and have been playing it feverishly, hoping the computer will stop loading the dice, but alas there is no end to it. If the computer decides to win, it always makes itself roll exactly what it needs, and makes you roll exactly what it needs. You’ve got no chance. Glad to see its not just me.

This game needs some work. On the easy modes, the AI makes pathetic choices and on the hard modes the AI loads the dice. the only way to beat the AI is through the doubling cube (i.e., cube management). you have no chance to out through the computer.

I think it is time for Adikus to rewrite this one or hand out a refund for all those who in good faith put money down for it. On the A1 game with the iPod Touch there is no way you can beat it, when it throws doubles after doubles time and time again to get out of a fix. I am quite a good player and can beat most computer versions more times than not. Also the Human to Human game does not work in the end game. Time and again it refuses to allow the white to be taken off in the order you wish, or not at all. We need an update please.

I love backgammon but try playing this game with the phone.Its pathetically predictable.If its the phone to win you dont stand a chance.I had a free version on the phone and hoping for something more challenging i bought it from the apple store.Its still the same silly game with none of the more”interesting features” What a waste of money
