I like the uncluttered look and ability to select skill level for the app opponent-- It helps build my skills and strategy. BUT select skill level 3 for the opponent, the skill doesn't increase, the dice tools get biased; eg., when I get kicked, my next 5 or 6 turns are lost because my rolls are dbl 5 or ANYTHING but what I need to get back on board. When my opponent gets kicked, their next roll is not only EXACTLY what they need to get on, but also to kick me off in the same turn. Uninstalling

Game is ok. My issues are the odds of winning the initial roll. I've noticed that I only win that roll about 5% of the time. The increased difficulty isn't the skill of the cpu, it's the "weighted" dice for the cpu. On the higher difficulties the rolls lean in favor of the cpu drastically.. its blatantly obvious that the dice are most often manipulated in favor of the cpu. Game gets boring quick and you'll start to notice after a handful of games. It's an ok game to learn on but that's about it

It's backgammon. First, when you beat the AI once, it does NOT happen again. When you're on the verge of gaining an edge, you start rolling back-to-back pairs, which becomes four of a kind; but anything in backgammon larger than an 8 (2×4 dice as DOUBLES) is a very limited move—strategically speaking, anyway. In summary, the game is good and the theme is classic, but there's WAY too many ads to focus, and, for anyone who cares, you CAN'T 'remove' them even if you DO want to. A solid 3/5 game.
