While it is not a bad game, it never ceases to amaze me that backgammon developers don’t make the game play smarter the harder the level you pick, they just start rigging the dice towards the CPU player. I love blocking the CPU out and watch it frantically throw double after double. Or place a piece in a stupid spot and watch the CPU player roll exactly what it needs to put you up on the bar
While beating this game on hard is still fairly easy, the rampart precise dice rolls just makes it laughable. The online portion of it though is good and process a much more realistic challenge… if you can get a game and if they stay long enough to finish the game.
Pretty solid game overall though. Much better than most Backgammon apps. Easy to use and very visually appealing. :D
