Frankly it is a very interesting game resolution is great the only problem is when playing with opponents you win & get 1.5 or 2.8 points you win 2 times or 3 straight games suddenly a beginner opponent beats you & you loose 5.5 points it is unfair! Sometimes you play for 4 hours & you loose again & again the dice programming makes you in a point that you want to delete the game completely & do not want to play anymore so adjustments may be done Regards

Dice rolls are not random

I’ve played Narde/Long Backgammon for many years and I started playing this game in PvP and thought it was fun until I began noticing a pattern, I’ll have a streak of 10-15 consecutive wins and suddenly the dice rolls will favor the opponent in clear back to back fashion. For example if I needed a certain figure in a key roll and the opponent a different specific one, the opponent gets exactly what they needed just to counter my move and this happens 5-10 times back to back on 5-6 games after win streaks guaranteeing losses. Obviously it is driven by an algorithm designed to force me to lose and “even the odds”. This isn’t a truly random dice algorithm and one way to know that for certain is that the app developer has never published their dice rolling algorithm online for peer review or verification.

The pointing system is flawed. I just lost a straight game and was deducted 11 points, right after I won a game (double), I was awarded only 5 points.I wish you could see yours and your opponents statistics.I wish the music will change when the game starts, so that when you're waiting an opponent and get distracted, the change in music will alert you. I lost too many games without noticing that a game had started.

Thanks for the very useful comment!Changing music or adding sound effect when game starts - noted. As to ratings, we use rating calculation system called FIBS - it is used widely in online games. Points +/- depends on the difference between ratings of two players and an experience (how many games played). So changes in ratings may be different in different games.

Fun game! Took some getting used to compared to the version more commonly played in North America. Like playing online, but some additional instructions would've been appreciated learning the rules. Would also like to see the doubling cube integrated into live play.

Thank you for providing rules for North America version of the game. There are many variations of the game and it is hard to figure which is better.
