Backgammon : 18 Games

Whoever wrote the program for Acey Deucy doesn’t really understand long strategy. The computer plays it like it’s a backgammon game. There’s no sense of building a board… Creating a block no planning the computer stupidly moves. It’s men across-the-board, without any chance of covering them up. And it seems no matter the circumstances, it automatically takes double sixes no matter what the board looks like. So this game is not challenging at all. I have tried to find other players, but the app shuts down every time I click the find button. My father is 97 years old and is still a master at this game. But I wouldn’t download it for him because playing the computer would be a waste of his time. I was hoping to play him online, but the app doesn’t allow for it. Please advise how to fix this.

I love Acey Deucy. This game follows the rules better than another app I’ve used. However, it is very frustrating that the games are set to impact the outcome. At the very ens, especially, perfect rolls fall EVERY TIME to allow the opponent to win. I have no problem with losing, but don’t manipulate the roll of the dice. Let us have a fair game.

I love this AP. Been using it for three years. Many of those who are complaining are obviously not utilizing the options. You can play the Rush Mode for faster games from 4 to 7 seconds, you can increase the AI options to be more or less aggressive, and you can opt out of ads for a low cost. Hey, it’s a free AP, what do you expect? There are more options regarding how and with whom you play, but I have not used all yet, so can’t comment on those options. I just play with AI. And I like the daily game which has four different versions just for variety and, if nothing else, I do those every day. Also, it’s a plus to have variable speeds so newbies can learn without timing restrictions. The best part for me is that I can be assured that the AI is not making illegal moves and I can concentrate on my own game which is harder when you have to be policing your opponent so they don’t cheat. And newbies learn faster by being not allowed to make illegal moves. They have to figure out why their move is blocked. So, if you hate this AP, stop using it. I love it.
