Backgammon Machine

After quite a bit of time playing this, I am left with the distinct impression that that the game does consistently and predictably give the ‘machine’ player highly convenient dice rolls, and that these consistent results are not random. I like the simple monochromatic game design, and the aesthetics, and that it is free with no ads - all of that is absolutely superlative. I liked, at times, playing this. But there are certain times when clear and obvious patterns of play, favoring the ‘machine’ player occur with such regularity that it puts a damper on one’s enthusiasm or desire to continue playing when despite one’s best efforts, the game play seems a bit, well, rigged. It would be great if the developer could tweak this a bit,so that gameplay is more neutral and does not favor the ‘machine’ player. Parts of the app are nicely designed.

Seems like a decent if bare bones backgammon app, but the lack of a doubling cube or the ability to create matches is a serious downer. Add those and perhaps some bare bones graphics and the game would be much better!
