Great implementation of Portes (Backgammon), Plato and FEOGA. And no ads! Allows for minor rule variations. It's a shame, so many poor reviews are posted from users who don't believe the dice rolls are random based on playing a couple of games. Two suggestions: (1) Allow greater use of UNDO. If the user accidently makes an unintended full move, a good game can be ruined. Maybe requiring clicking a "confirm move" before going on to the computer move? And (2) -- add the name "backgammon" to the name of the game so that more people searching for it will find this fine program. (Portes differs from Backgammon in only 2 small ways -- no doubling cube and no three point games.) Great job.

Excellent game that is fairly easy on the battery, plays nicely, and isn't biased. Comparable to XG mobile. Nice to see Tali variants as opposed to straight Backgammon. No adverts! Couple of suggestions, if I may... a 'board' colored board instead of a white background with some kind of marker at each point to show the options. The animation could be a bit (a lot) quicker.

Although I enjoy this app very much I do however note that when it comes to
dice roll; statistically the CPU gets a much higher percentage of doubles.
This makes it very difficult to beat the opponent. Still I think this is
the best Tali available. Make the dice roll more random, and it will get 5
stars. Thank you.

AI plays smart, but the luck of its rolls on expert level are completely unrealistic. I totally agree that there is a problem with the random generator, as these games do not reflect random numbers. The cpu had consistently small needs when needed, more doubles than me through 5 games, and landed on exactly the roll it needed to pin my piece in Plato every time. The game plays fine, but graphics are rather ugly, and dice and totally unrealistic. Uninstalled.

I played 2 game with 45 play for me and 46 play for the computer. I get 3 double he gets 15 he wins the 2 games because of the doubles in the second play he gets 3 double in a row at the end to win. So I highly doubt that the game doesn't cheat.
