BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - GAME BOARDS We didn't just strive to make a good AI and fluid gameplay, we also made it our mission to make it look good. No, not just good... we wanted to make them look drop dead gorgeous good. We found a skilled designer and then tortured him with feedback until we were satisfied. The result are two boards (metal and wood) which look awesome, while providing little visual distraction to let you focus on your strategy. And for those who love a little distraction, we let the designer run wild with a selection of (optional) fancy boards, rich with decor and beautiful details. Which one is your favorite? AAAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOARD, A MULTIPLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION AI - BEEE GEEEE BLITZ From time to time there is an olympic tournament for backgammon programs. We managed to convince the maker of the three times winner BGBlitz to make his AI available to the users of True Backgammon. This AI is a world class opponent for those who only want to match up against the best. And it is a patient mentor. BGBlitz offers a tutor mode, that will point out moves that are less than optimal, and it will show better ones. WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY? Long story short, we put a lot of effort into this app, not just into the game play, but on every level. If you choose it, we are sure you will not be disappointed.
Backgammon
Very good game, can be played at different levels. The computer seems to have an advantage by very frequently rolling doubles immediately after it doubles.
game is okay
Play it for yourself and draw your own conclusions. I tend to agree with those who experience frustration with favourable rolls at opportune times from the computer player. It can get annoying when you have played a sound game. Sure you are playing a computer who will make the right move most of the time but when you dominate a game and still lose at the end due to a ridiculously lucky roll or terrible roll combinations forcing you into a vulnerable position, which happens all too frequently, there is something going on... No human player would be that consistently lucky. I have played this game 100's of times before coming to my conclusions. It is still better than most with good graphics. I have thought at times that the computer player comes off as one who cannot stand getting beat so needs to cheat in the end. LOL. I have read the developers comments to similar claims from others. Again, don't take my word for it, draw your own conclusions.
the opponents (computer) plays too fast for me and I also find that not being able to choose which d
ver disconcerting, and against the true backgammon rules.
Lucky rolls
I agree with the reviewers who say that the computer seems to get just the right dice rolls when needed. On the plus side, though, this is good practice for playing the back game when behind.
fun game
There's a lot to like about this version. Also some things that need fixed. The game has frozen on several occasions. We played two games where doubles came up so many times it was insane. still fun but needs a little change.
Terrible. Stay away!
As noted in other review the rolls by the computer are statistically impossible. The expert level just means the computer continutes to make stupid moves but will consistently roll the dice to what is exactly needed for the best move. So very disappointed in this game.
Good when it works.
It quit working. I guess I have to delete it and buy another.
* In very rare cases the doubling tutor showed swapped statistics * Some additional minor statistic bugs fixed * General stability improvements If you like this app and want to support further development, please rate it 5 star, or even better, write a nice review. I appreciate your support.
