How to play the backgammon game

- Classic backgammon is a logic puzzle for two, played on a board of 24 triangles. These triangles are called points.
- Each player sits on the opposite sides of the board with 15 checkers, black or white.
- To start the game, players take turns and roll the dice. That’s why free backgammon is often called a dice game.
- Players move pieces based on the numbers rolled. For example, if you roll 2 and 5, you can move one piece 2 points and another one 5 points. Alternatively, you can move one piece 7 points.
- Once all of a player’s pieces are in his or her “home”, that player may begin removing pieces off of the backgammon board.
- A player wins once all of their pieces are removed from the board

Was great. Now, less so. The latest update has massively changed the gameplay. Previously, the computer player was sensible and played rational moves. Now, it just does ridiculous ones, and it seems it's determined to ruin my game, rather than try to win its own. The sort of player who, if it were in real life, you wouldn't bother to play with again. And the dice rolls are very much stacked in the computer players favour. And the ads! I accept that ads are needed, but some of them are so long

Hello Dave, thank you for your feedback! The dice rolls in our game are generated randomly, ensuring fairness for all players. We acknowledge that opinions on this can differ, and we value your input. We’ll consider this as we work on enhancing the game.

Starts great, then the relentless ads. Once it jumps to the ads (mid game. they don't even wait for the end) your shown an ad and the option to skip comes up in the top left corner. This doesn't skip the ad, but will take you to the play store for the app the ad was advertising. Deleting the game as I find ads bad enough without them being forced down my throat! Make an app to get rid of all ads and you may have something I'm looking fof

There's a lot to like about this game but I will be uninstalling it. I just cannot believe that the dice are random. Every time I sent one back to the middle, the computer had enough to get out again whereas I didn't... every time! When I had one counter on its own, the computer could send me to the middle but I couldn't do the same. The computer had at least six doubles in one game (including 2 lots of four 6s and 2 lots of four 5s) I had one set of doubles which of course couldn't be used.
