Backgammon Reloaded for Android
The only downfall is that the software is written like all of the rest. It gives you doubles when you can't use them so the stats read like you're getting just as many doubles as the computer gets. But it's still fun cuz it's good strategical practice.
Close to real playing however the more difficult levels favor the AI on dice rolls. If you are ahead look out for some incredible strings of doubles and perfect t rolls to remove your one lonely exposed tile until you are behind again. Dice rolls especially doubles given the player are generally not useable if you are too far ahead at the higher levels. Good for practice in case you play against some incredibly lucky or cheating opponent . If this was the wild west the AI would be tarred, feathered and run out of town.
I'm a very experienced player taught by a Turkish man I can easily thrash the pants of it , which is a shame I would like a little more competition. Good fun for the average user logs of different levels all to easy and very little difference between them. Enjoy
It cheats computer gets consistently best rolls an convenient doubles this is not sour grapes on my part not a even playing field! House has the advantage. Probably going to trash it
Functions pretty well and uses so little data for online play that it's a must play for me on the bus. However, the online community of players is extremely rude and there's no way to report for abuse. Also ability to play local multiplayer would be nice
Clumsy, so slow and awkward BUT, the dice rolls and play seem more natural, more realistic than most AI games I've played. AI does give it's self the customary well timed double at the end but otherwise play seems more fairly balanced.
Even on easy mode the computer sets you up to lose 4 out of 5 times and the computer wont let you move when you actually can. Its rigged against you !
Right size. A brighter marker on the board for possible moves would help those who are mathematically challenged. Also a WIN/LOSS total tally would be nice. VERY NICE!!!
The only change that I would make, Would-be to add a simple won / loss tally to the stats. What are the chances that could happen?
Love the game but... Something is wrong with game .please take a look its going crazy
Not as much AI cheating as in other backgammon apps. A lack of realistic doubles with die.
8/26/17 Pros: Free. Game functions properly. Play online with strangers or friends. No login or registration necessary (unless we choose to). Nice board graphics make pieces easy to see and move. Can undo moves before you confirm them. Clear indications of where your pieces can move. Choose your color regardless of opponent's color choice. If someone invites you to a game, you can propose your settings (which you've previously set in Options). This is good if someone wants to play faster than you are comfortable with. Cons: Ads. Timed. No sound letting you know it's your turn, which means you have to be staring at the screen. Chat pops out over the whole game board, which makes it difficult to complete turns timely, and it will say you lost if the timer runs out. The display is only in one horizontal orientation (Does not change when you rotate your device to the position you want it in). It does not allow you to review the game you just played; it immediately goes to something else, so there is not more than a couple seconds to relish in the "You won" screen. Dice rolls clearly NOT RANDOM (Rolled a 4 every turn instead of the numbers I needed, and it acts like it's trying to even things out when someone is way in the lead). Any player can watch another player's game and/or view their game history, scores, etc. Stupid sound when it says "You lose" (which is rude in itself because if it's not saying "You won", it should just say "Game Over" like games used to do).
I play every day, as a beginner I'm having a great time but sometimes its obvious I'm being cheated on, if the cheating stopped I would rate it higher
One of the better free backgammon games. Need to tap the exact destination space to move. The game could use an undo feature. Also being able to double tap to speed up moving stones out would be great.
The online game play constantly glitches. I lost 2 games in the middle of the game for no reason. Just sent a message that I lost the game
It seems to me that the computer favors the opponent towards the end of the game especially with doubles!
The dice rolls are somewhat predictable, they do not seem as random as they sbould be.
The computer rolls a lot of doubles I only rolled one but was in jail could 't get out computer roll whatever it need every time
Computer moves far too quickly for you to check moves. Computer makes moves that it should and how many 5 and 3s can one person get I had 5 in a row
Haven't played online yet but i like the game
I've downloaded many versions of backgammon and Reloaded is by far the most balanced of any version of I ever played. I love it. Thanks for a really fair game.
Random roll does not work.
Game play real enough. Would like to see auto roll and auto bar off. Other wise I like this game ????
This is a simple and clear game and the ads are not terribly annoying for the value that you get out of the game
Black player rolls white dice. ????
Great. just need to know how to invite friends
بازی خوبی هستش بدون مشکل اجرا میشه
More people get serious about this one than most.
Truly a "real" game!
Ok for computer game would like easier chip movement
Dice rolls at will
CHEATS!
Fantastic app, so many different settings.
Finally !!!!! An honest game!!!
Thanks for the game it's so easy to use
Fantastic app and good speed
Good online community
Excellent playing game
The old version was much better. Don't see the dice roll choices back. Dice rolls becoming predictable. Either I or op get a final quad. Think hitting the reset button better than cussing op out. BC'S review seems accurate.
by F####:
I take back my 4 star review. The game has changed. Can I really roll the same numbers 3 times in a row trying to get off the bar? The game favors whose ahead like other crappy backgammon apps. Some weird algorithm. Not the same as it was before invasive ads. Uninstalling.
