The graphics are sparce, simple and fairly slow. There is no undo button. There is no doubling cube. And the computer makes some fairly obvious stupid moves. By my description you would think that I don't like this game, but I do. This is the first 'dice' game that I have played that feels authentic. I don't know the science behind it, or the algorithms involved, but the role of the dice - mine and the computers - seems realistic to me. No heavy doses of doubles, no perfect rolls every time. Fun

Overall very smooth and enjoyable. The only problem is the opening rolls to determine the starter do not follow standard backgammon rules. The game rolls two dice/player vice one, ties go to the computer instead of being re-rolled, doubles count higher than non-doubles even if their total is lower, and the first player has to re-roll to determine their first piece moves instead of rolling the total of the two starting rolls by the computer and player. Otherwise I would've given it 5 stars.

At last, a backgammon game that doesn't appear to have a bias for the computer. Down sides are, cannot play offline, so no signal, no game, adverts are intrusive, there is no "undo" button. I have lost games because I accidentally touched the wrong point and the counter moved and cannot be moved back, because of this I have downgraded it to two stars, it would have been more as it's a good playing experience.
