Comments on Backgammon NJ for Android for Android

★★★★☆ stephen bunney · Apr 10, 2025
One or the best Backgammon Apps available to play and learn the game.
★★★★☆ Tony Horning · May 12, 2026
I play this game a lot, and I really like. The only thing that sucks is rolling the same rolls over and over during a game. Sometimes I'll and the computer will get the same roll three to fives times in a row or the same roll a bunch of times in a match. I think it has to with evening out rolls, but it still is frustrating. Otherwise, a challenging game.
★★★★☆ Laura Lambertini · Sep 6, 2026
Great app but... I think the computer rolls more double dice.
★☆☆☆☆ adam ineson · Jan 20, 2025
Just look at the statistics in the game; opening rolls won: expected 50%, computer wins 58%. Doubles stats ALL way higher than expected. If you can be hit by the computer, it WILL roll the perfect numbers to do so. If you're hammering the computer and bearing off you WILL get rolls that leave you blots which the computer WILL hit straight from the bar, which you won't be able to leave while it throws massive rolls and miraculously wins, against all odds. Really, really lame.
★★☆☆☆ Matt Bossert · Aug 10, 2025
The computer player very likely looks at future dice rolls, which is infuriating. Just start accepting all computer offered doubles and pay attention to the computer roll immediately after. The number of doubles rolled immediately after accepting a double cube defies all statistical probability.
★☆☆☆☆ glen urquhart · Mar 9, 2026
If you're good at backgammon, you will hate this app. Setting it to expert level just means that the computer gets better dice. Basically any time the computer falls behind it. Rolls the perfect set of doubles multiple times in a row
