Backgammon Gold

I have been playing this game on the app for many, many years. it was always fun, and I appreciated that you could adjust the level of play and the game actually responded that way. However, for the last month or so it is impossible to win, and it is almost as if the computer is out for vengeance. Every time I get knocked off and there is only one point covered, I roll that number in doubles 4 to 5 times in a row. However, I will have all points, but one covered and remarkably that’s the role the computer gets. In addition, I will get a role that forces me to a spot, I won’t have any options, and then the computer takes advantage of my position. It’s been a good run, but I’ll look for a new app now.

I've had this game for several years, but I'm about to delete it. The game's fine. I play against the computer offline. As in - no internet connection. NO INTERNET CONNECTION. The most recent upgrade requires that I log in to play off line. How am I supposed to do that with No Internet Connection? You get my point. If I can't open the game when I want to use it - at lunch at work, then there's no point in having it.

A review from a high ranked player: At level 4, this is the most cheating Backgammon game there is. Don't ever let yourself get knocked out. Average rolls for the game to get back in: 1.5. Average rolls needed for you to get back in: 5.5. If the computer has only 2 or 3 points blocked, those are the rolls you'll get over and over again. If you have 5 points blocked, the computer will find the open spot in one or two rolls. In one game, the computer got exactly the only two-die roll needed to escape and hit so often, we calculated the odds at over 10,000 to one. We play this only to ridicule it. We would call out 6 and 4 almost every time that was the only roll that would win for the computer. Doubles when behind, immediately followed by multiple doubles.
