Backgammon - Lord of the Board

Been playing this game for a long time and like every other reviews, it's definitely fixed. It seems every time I purchase coins to play, I start losing to the opponents back to back until I'm wiped out. And let's not even mention the plethora of freaking annoying ads that keep popping up every time you open the game or finish a game. It's spam. I kept going back and forth with deleting for a few months and reinstall later but each time it gets worst. I used to love this game but I'm over it now

Gameplay is good; can play for hours. Other players can be really cutthroat. It's great to find someone at your own level who's great at using strategy to win, not just cutting you back as much as possible. Also, too many ads. Have to close as many as 7 ads just to play. Sometimes seems rigged, as many other people are saying. I stick with lower levels to prevent losing a lot when it gets like that.

I never get anything remotely close to a real winning on the mega spin. Like the 12K? Why haven't I EVER got that. Also, when you buy items, I notice prices keep going up to the to the point I can't afford to play unless I have hundreds to waste on this game. I have played 8 Ball Pool and their prices for the last 2 years have not once have their items prices gone up, no matter your level! Why can't you keep your prices the same regardless of their level, or whatever.

I used to love playing. The game has become extremely buggy. Crashes all the time, to the point that my phone has prompt to put in deep sleep. Reporting bugs gets no responses. And the more you PTP, the higher the packages become. Response: we offer fair packages at many times to our players. Keep an eye out for great deals. Packages have stayed at an upwards of $30 since purchasing.

Rolls are not random. Bots get tremendous doubles or perfect rolls. Not a fair game. Don't care what the developers claim. I've been playing since childhood. It's improbable the way the dice rolls happen. Not truly random rolls. Way too many double for the bots. And you only get double when you're fully blocked. It's designed to encourage you to spend money. Avoid this app.

Truly ANNOYING! and DISTRACTING! and RUDE! and IMPATIENT! The app CRAMS moves down your...er I mean suggests moves if you don't move within a couple seconds. I'm not Mensa smart, so I often need a few seconds to decide but they show you their idea of the best move. TWICE making it difficult (for me) to focus! And you best move pronto or they'll do it again, maybe with a different, ahem, suggestion. I'll find a backgammon app that allows ME to play. They even roll for you often! LORD is right!!

Anytime an app fullscreens an advertisement without my desire, I immediately know the devs do not respect me, so I cannot endorse this app. I'm not sure if the popups they cram down your throat every time the main menu loads has bad canceling hit boxes or if it's programmed that way, but I find Zynga's app more focused and a better experience than this one.

Omg... This is 5 star game without the incredibly greedy techniques they use to constantly raise the amount of money you need to spend and the constant irritations of 3 & 4 pop ups EVERY TIME YOU DO ANYTHING! finish the game... 3 to 4 pop ups to spend money with them. Look at anything... 3 to 4 pop ups to spend money! Push any button to look at anything and 3 to 4 pop up ads to spend money. And these are ALL pop up ads for things you have access to on the screen anyways. It's very frustrating

After playing this game for about a year, it has become somewhat tedious to deal with its obvious faults. It is the best online backgammon game, has great interface and graphics. In the beginning was fast, fun and fair. The longer you play you realize you're mostly playing fake bots, so they can program the game to go anyway they want. They let you win just enough to keep you going, kind of like Vegas, but in the end you pay. Everything is rigged and is designed to get your money, be warned.

I feel like a lot of this game is rigged and you are playing the computer most of the time. I won 19 out of my first 20 games, and now it is less than 20%. Plus, my opponent always gets timely doubles. Don't like how you have to accept challenges or you lose. Just like slots. It's easy to keep 'it fair' when the majority of players are the house.

10th update and 7 months later. Ive been reciewing for 2 years now. Still a scheme to make you lose coins and waste money. You can't even play the additional games they have because in order to be able to keep playing you have to play the lowest bets possible which makes the game less enjoyable. And the lower bets don't give you the albums you need to play the additional games. All a scheme. Read the other reviews. The more you spent the more luck your opponent has.

The most frustrating game ever. Is really fun for a while. They do a decent job of making it fun early to get you to buy coins to up your levels. Then you go on 30 game losing streaks regardless of how well you play. Opponents (bots) get crazy combinations of dice or 4 doubles in a row to end the game over and over again. If yo happen to play another real person it's very fun, but hard to tell sometimes. The game itself was very well designed and works well.

Great game, one major flaw!!! 10 seconds to respond to a request for double. If my phone lags at all it's fatal. By the time I see it it's gone. I have downloaded this app 3 times. But I deleted it in anger for losing a game I was winning!! Answer. You did not understand my problem. When my opponent offered a double, the screen to respond is not on the screen long enough to respond, so I loose. 10 sec is not enough.

this is the most corrupt game in the app store. When you first start playing, you will win a bunch of games. When you start buying coins, the opponents will get tons of 6s and doubles. Your opponents (bots) will not have much money, but it shows in their profile that they have won millions of coins, yet they have 3k. They will double you quickly, and then the doubles come even quicker. Their rolls will then e perfect. Don't buy coins that trigger the bots.

This game upsets me consistently. I get mostly bad rolls and I lose over 90 percent of the time. Even when I'm ahead my apponent gets a series of doubles. I can confidently say I go first 1 percent of the time. When all my guys are home I get more 1s and 2s than you can imagine. When I'm way ahead my apponent or bot gets a series of doubles in a row. Bad algorithm.

I agree with many of the individuals who say the graphics are great but....!!! I've played this game for years and the algorithm is a bunch of b.s. Some of reasons 1) I start 10% of the time, my opponents the other 90%, 2) when the extra games get to a certain point I consistently lose time after time, 3) It's at the point I can literally predict what my opponent will roll to hit me, block me, etc, and the list goes on... I stand by my original comment as the proof is in the play! Yeah, sure!!!

Terrible game. Predictable and set up for opponents. Never seen 6 doubles in a row to win games more than once. Been playing backgammon for 45 years. Un-installed, then reinstalled it, keeping track of the predictable rolls, which happens when you're forced into plays by the algorithm. No random generated numbers here, despite what the creators say. They don't reply to emails either.
