Backgammon Deluxe Go Wiki

I like winning, so this game makes you feel good. Some times the dice don't seem to want to roll your way. But that is ok too. At times I don't feel like putting up with Internet chatter and this has none. Also don't have to have internet connect to play. That is a big bonus at times!

...almost too easy to beat. On the hardest setting, I win nearly every game. The computer makes some pretty careless moves - moves that players with even marginal experience know not to make. Still, entertaining, and no crashes. Given some of the apps I've seen, that alone is an accomplishment.

I love how the rolls are actually random and not always exactly what the cpu 'needs'. But...I hate the decorative dice at the bottom and the rolled dice on the board, it throws me. And after finishing a game and closing app, when I return, the app is stuck at the end of the previous game wanting me to take the unused move even though I've already beared off all pips. Have to actually quit the game and start new. I haven't had the app like long enough to see stats if there are any so I don't know if it affects them. I don't play for stats I just enjoy the game. I'll keep the app, but am hoping for improvements.

The offered backgammon games for iPad are AWFUL... Almost every game is programmed to be in favor of the cpu instead of moves being random. This game seems to be a rare offering where the cup moves are random. At the same time, the cpu doesn't take advantage of moves against the player when it could, at least in the medium difficulty setting. Still, at least you don't have the frustration of skillfully playing to advantage only to have the cpu make a series of moves that are statistically impossible. So I'll give this offering a good score, but not perfect.

New version has way too many ads, and has a glitch where the screen rotates 90 degrees and you can't play. Also wish you could take back moves every now and then. Computer does make some stupid moves too. Pretty easy even in hard setting. But you feel smart when you win so much! I am addicted.

Playing on hard and I beat it the majority of the time. Needs another level to be challenging and the option to roll exact number to go out. Otherwise it is a good game.

I have been playing this game (app) for years and in the last 6 months the glitch’s where you have to restart and the amount of adds have gone through the roof. Very disappointed in the fact it updates and only is getting worse. I give it a 3 only because I know it was better years before and hope it’s fixed soon .

This free app is really ok but it could easily be better with a few minor tweaks. It's really really easy. The computer makes really dumb moves sometimes and I seem to get exactly the right dice a lot of the time. On medium I easily won 9 out of ten games. I now play on hard and I still win 7 out of ten. Maybe that's the developers way of keeping me looking at the ads. But here's how it could be better. 1. The red and black pieces are too close to the same color and its hard to tell them apart sometimes. 2. There needs to be an undo button. Even in real backgammon you can change your mind when you make a wrong move but not in this game. 3. Make it a little more challenging

As long as you select Red as your color, the game plays fine. If you select Black as your color, the game freezes up after a few moves. This has happened to me three times. Please fix this! Also, even in the most difficult mode, an avid player can easily beat the computer. In general, app is not enough of a challenge.

I win 95% of the time but that's not the point. Your offense is bad in my opinion but your piggish amount of doubles is truly incredible. As my friends watch me play, I'm the queen of double ones and 6-3 to open. As I can predict your rolls, if I have a lone man out, you inevitably give yourself the exact rolls to hit and cover. You always have anywhere from 4-8 men in MY house! Don't like paying rent? Don't want to go home? Truly amazing the only point open was my three, I had up to three of you on the wall many times and yet you would get doubles threes each and every time! Wonder what odds of that would be. But it's your game, I guess I should feel privileged for letting me play! Gee thanks, I am truly humbled by your brilliance!

1st review I've ever posted. But, when the dice continually favor the cpu past level 2.....it warrants a post. How does the developer expect anyone to keep or continue to play in level 3 and beyond when the rolls are no longer random ? I was very pleased with the app in levels 1 & 2 because it was truly random. Some of the cpu moves in those levels were frustrating (as previously mentioned). If you are looking to learn or are at a beginner level this is a decent app for you. If you want challenging random play in intermediate to advanced play, keep looking, this app won't make you happy.

Frustrating game as computer makes plays that are pretty stupid, often leaving open stones close to or in its home. This makes level 1 and 2 unrealistically easy and boring. Continues the same in level 3, but gets away with it as dice rolls favor the computer with perfect rolls and frequent doubles, while the human player gets poor rolls. Played game while rolling real dice and the computer rolls were so far from reality it makes this game no fun at all. I'm deleting this game in search of another backgammon game that is challenging, but realistic (if that's possible).

The computer chests like crazy, giving high count doubles, giving the puck on the bar JUST the right number to get to the open space on your side, giving just the right number to knock you off. I play this cheating game a lot so I see this over and over. I get so p***ed I will start over when it cheats. The other back gammon games aren't all that great. Wish someone would develop a fair game that would just play fair. Almost to the point to delete this.

I always loved this app but this latest update has caused the entire screen to go black every few seconds and then appear and disappear like a strobe light. Not only can I not make it through a game without getting a headache from it, but I also have to wait for the buttons to be accessible again when the screen does finally reappear. It seems like when I hold the phone in its normal upright position is the only way to minimize the blackouts. Please fix this cos other than that, this has always been a great game. Thanks!
