I deleted this insulting garbage. Setting a high challenge level results in the game getting consistently fantastic and unbelievable rolls. That doesn’t make it fun. It makes it distasteful and deceitful. It was a mistake to keep this game and try again. Beware the cheating and lying game makers.

Dice are not random. Have been playing for a while. After the app doubles the rolls continually go in their favor. Too frustrating and have deleted the app.

This game punishes players for an aggressive, non-traditional style of play. If you take occasional chances by leaving pieces open that require a combination of “both” dice to get you, it will do just that 80% of the time, even if two “specific” numbers are required to do that, such as a 6 & 1, or 2 & 5! This is not random chance!

Great for playing but I think the dice is rigged for paying users. I can be thrashing opponents and then they uncannily constantly roll multiples to win. Looking for a new platform.

I have been playing this game NJ HD for quite a few years now. I’ve sampled other backgammon games and this is the best by a country mile. Love the layout. I always play in expert mode and definitely find it challenging to stay well ahead. A class act that certainly keeps me on my toes. Brilliant!

At first it was good and then even putting on the easy setting it is hard to beat. I have learned to hate it actually.

Warning! Paid $8 for this app, and within 2 minutes it’s forcing me to watch an ad. I’m ok with ad based revenue OR up front purchase, but not both. Uninstalling. Wasted cash.

Backgammon NJ HD doesn’t simulate backgammon—it simulates getting scammed by a smug algorithm.

Tout est bien pensé et réalisé. Nombreux paramètres pour ajuster le niveau, bon système aléatoire pour le jet des dés et quelques options didactiques.
