What real reviews say
★★★★ Great game With the updates to iOS this is no longer stable for on line play crash on the first move 75% of the time. Try and play every day. Love the new online play very fast server. Much better than fibs. But I hate people that abort. Please let tag them as quitters. This game is as good as jellyfish. If
★ Loaded Dice The computer constantly gets double 4, 5, or 6 multiple times in a game while I rarely get any doubles.
★ Not the best backgammon game The game gives itself quads on a far to frequent basis not realistic play
