MODES OF PLAY
There are two modes of play: "table stakes" or "match play".
In TABLE STAKES, you and your opponent start with an equal number of chips. The goal is to collect all the chips before your opponent does. Use the doubling cube to increase the stakes. If you play with the "Jacoby rule", gammons and backgammon dont count unless the cube has been turned. If you play with the "Beavers rule", a player who accepts a double may immediately redouble and still keep the cube.
In MATCH PLAY, the goal is to be the first player to reach a specified total number of points. Use the doubling cube to increase the stakes. The "Crawford rule" takes the doubling cube out of play for one game when a player gets to within one point of winning.
You offer a double by sliding the cube over to your opponents side of the board. Opponent can accept the double by pressing "Take" (the game continues at twice the previous stakes), or reject the double by pressing "Pass" (he loses the game and must pay the previous stakes.)
----------------
COMPUTER PLAYER
The computer AI is VERY strong. There are two levels of play: Average and Strong. Both are fun and challenging.

Much improved
Mr
Rigged for sure! Played 40+ games on the cautious setting. Came real close to winning 90% of the time till comp rolls doubles multiple times in a row. Very frustrating!!
Hazard?? Not sure!!!!!!
I do not believe that the dice is selected with the hazard... I never saw a so lucky opponent!!! Je ne crois pas que les dés soit choisis au hazard... je nai jamais vu un opposant si chaceux!!!
Dice proven fixed
Dont waste your time with this frustranting game the dice are completely fixed!! The computer player gets miraculous roles nearly every time. Ive yet to see an opponent piece forced to be left single when casting off. 100% of the time when the computer doubles or counter doubles the next role a piece of mine is taken off. Its lucky its free because its not worth 2 cents. Consider it deleted!!!
great app.
i dont know how it was fixed... but the dices arent rigged this app is good
Great Player
Dont listen to the whiners. This app plays very well. Much better than other apps. If they cant beat it its lack of skill not fixed dice. I only wish it kept stats so I could see my rank against cautious, wild, expert etc. The fact that you can play opponents with different styles is also excellent. Expert plays a very good back game!
Excellent implementation
Excellent app. Dont listen to complainers. Ive played against Jellyfish (look it up) and it always seems like the dice are fixed. But on that game like this one the dice are not fixed. You just need to play more carefully. I, too would like to see stats.
