Backgammon Masters 17+

Great game, though does allow opponent to cheat.

I have noticed lots of doubles on opening rolls. Moreso than in real life, though I've had games in real life where we've gotten 3 doubles in a row in the opening, just not as frequently as in this game. That being said, and understanding that true random doesn't exist in an app, both players are playing in the same environment, so it's still fair. In my real life games, I've started paying closer attention to dice rolls and I'm constantly amazed by how often I'll get the exact right number then followed by something like 3 doubles in a row. I don't question in because obviously my real life dice are random. I think I only question the game dice sometimes because I'm paying closer attention. I think they are as random as possible for an electronic game. I only have one real issue, and it's the reason I gave 4 stars: if an opponent realizes they are going to lose with a backgammon, they can wait out the clock and lose with only a gammon when the timer runs out, allowing them to cheat. It's incredibly frustrating and seems like it would be an easy fix. This still occurs with the confirm moves (or whatever it's called) option enabled. Would love it if this was fixed because man is it frustrating. Perhaps add a way to report players who cheat in this way. Other than that, love the game! Thanks for making it!

Won’t enforce backgammon!!

Would be five stars, but (at least on the iPhone app) the game won’t enforce a backgammon! For example, if you are behind with lots of chips on the bar, all you have to do is resign and you will just lose a gammon. What?!? That let’s you weasel your way out of a proper backgammon win for your opponent. The same thing happens if your opponent lets the clock run out with chips still in your inner court. They only lose a gammon instead of the backgammon. I and every player i have ever met say that when a person loses, for whatever reason, they should lose based on the position they are in.

While there are a few other subjective things I would like to see improved, not enforcing a backgammon should be at the top of their fix list.

Developer Response ,

Dear player, thank you so much for your feedback! :)
There is an option "Move confirmation." To enable it, you need to click on the right side of the screen, then you will see a green arrow, there you can find all the options for the game.
Sorry for such a long answer
Have a great game!:)

Dice are messed up

I wish we could post a picture here. The game started out with fair dice, however over time, it changes. I am not sure what the metric is that causes the game to manipulate the dice for a player, but I have never paid anything to this app and maybe I am an undesirable player. They collect and collect you can see your stats, but once you skip the videos and don’t pay them anything, your doubles will be more frequent when you are on the Bar after getting hit. They are clever as your doubles will be on Points that are blocked. So your stats can continue too look somewhat normal to regular dice rolls, but in reality they are blocked rolls giving you no benefit. lol I have rolled doubles after doubles on blocked points when I am on the Bar. Very frustrating. Also your opponent will get that ‘miracle roll’ regularly that either gets them out of a tight spot or hits your vulnerable chip sending you back on the Bar. The best backgammon game is using a real board and skip these online versions. I hope that a gaming program comes clean and shares what’s really going on behind the scenes at these app businesses.
