## Review summary

Backgammon Gold is beloved by long-time players for its core gameplay and generally solid interface, with adjustable difficulty. However, multiple reviews cite a recurring drop in quality: biased RNG/AI, intrusive ads after paying for premium, loss of online multiplayer, and frequent crashes or UI regressions after updates. These issues, along with doubling glitches and orientation problems, heavily color the current experience despite the game’s strong foundation and nostalgic appeal.

### Pros

- Loyal, long-time user base with many players who have enjoyed the game for years.
- adjustable difficulty levels that actually influence the AI, allowing balanced play.
- Generally solid interface/visuals that users found usable when the app functioned.
- The core backgammon gameplay is enjoyable and recognizable for fans of the game.

### Cons

- Perceived unfair RNG/AI behavior, with computer rolls seeming biased and frequent favorable outcomes for the opponent.
- Ads appearing between games and premium purchases not preventing ads, including reports of ads after upgrading and ad-block price changes.
- Loss or removal of online/multiplayer features, with users noting no online play or net play since updates.
- Crashes, freezes, and performance issues after updates, including slow dice and UI slowdowns.
- UI/UX regressions after updates (board changes, orientation issues, missing controls like the undo button) and specific doubling glitches.
