Bugs, things not working3%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Can't bear off at the end - very frustrating
★★★★★ Like to play while listening to an audiobook now almost impossible with ads blasting awful pointless music which often continues into the game so what the point of having a music setting that doesn't work.
★★★★★ It is now full of bugs that takes away most of the pleasure of playing.
Wrong or poor results2%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If the “difficult” level means that the computer will throw doubles after doubles then you've got this wrong boys.
★★★★★ The computer seems to hit the impossible dice 9 out of 10 times...
★★★★★ Hat nix mit Backgammon zu tun. Ai wirf einfach passende Würfe 14x!!! Doppel in einer Partie davon 7x hintereinander😳🙄so real?! Dann lieber gar kein spielen als mich derart verarschen zu lassen…..
Missing features2%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ No option to end the ad so sadly had to remove this app.
★★★★★ I like how this looks and the lack of ads is great but the AI cheats.
★★★★★ There's also no option to just concede that game.

★★★★★ I have to crash my phone to close this app, It takes over your phone.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Also if computer needs a 5 and 4……it will roll a 5 and a 4. 2★, Aug 13, 2026
  • It's fine for a bit of fun as you're learning the game but once you progress to hard mode the dice are stacked in the app's favour which really takes the shine out of it, it's very demoralising knowing the app will… 2★, May 26, 2026
  • Nor do I wish to play Royal Match! 1★, May 16, 2026
  • I love this game, but idle moments and it would be better with no adverts 5★, Mar 28, 2026
  • Great game good way to learn how to play Pity the computer seems to always win the start and if it needs any number to take you out it always gets it Please sort the dice out👍 5★, Feb 20, 2026
  • Always gets the exact combinations of numbers it needs and always somehow gives the player the worst possible combinations (except for when you can't use a quad 6 because that is the one square with an enemy piece in… 1★, Nov 30, 2023
  • I want a challenge but from the game being lever, nor fixed. 1★, Apr 18, 2023

Fun, addictive16%

20 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is good bruv I enjoy playing it on the other train
★★★★★ This is a fun app and great to play.
★★★★★ Great game , very enjoyable.
Easy to use6%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Like their other iphone games they run well - hard mode gives the phone the best rolls which is challenging - tedious protracted ads
★★★★★ The bug where it lets you undo a dice roll is annoying as it is easy to do this by mistake and lose your roll.
★★★★★ Backgammon is a great game, and this game for free is a nice way to learn and practice it. It's addictive!
Looks great5%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I also agree the look and design has become clumsy looking.
★★★★★ Good UI and minimal ads but I'm convinced the dice throws are intentionally biased towards the AI opponent, who seems to throw exactly what it wants far too often, and the number of times I get 2 & 1 is unbelievable.
★★★★★ The developers took on-board the users' feedback following the release of a new modern interface and restored the much loved classic interface.
Worth the money2%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ads are not too intrusive unlike many free games.
★★★★★ A great way to spend a bit of free time and something you can do whilst listening to music or watching TV.
★★★★★ Backgammon is a great game, and this game for free is a nice way to learn and practice it.

Advert nightmare

Way too many ads, takes a long time to even start playing! Yawn

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026
Gets stuck on ads for other games

Gets stuck on ads for other games I don’t want and you can’t close them.

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026
Guter Zeitvertreib zur Entspannung für zwei oder allein ohne Probleme

Sehr schön bis auf die übliche Werbung, kann ich sehr empfehlen

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
Adverts

The game itself is good, but on an update you can’t play anything unless you sit through about a 2 minute advert and can’t skip it. Doesn’t always follow the orientation of your phone and displays upside down making you turn the phone around instead. Enjoyed it, but sometimes it was better left as it was.

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
simple & effective

Like their other iphone games they run well - hard mode gives the phone the best rolls which is challenging - tedious protracted ads
