Hi,
I love the game backgammon, but the few apps I've tried have the same problem -- an overzealous rolling program that manages to favor the opponent a majority of the time. For instance, if he hits me, I can sit out up to 10-15 turns, unable to get back in when only 50% of the bars are covered, while he can come back in after 1-2 rolls. Or if I double, he suddenly gets a streak of double rolls that pull him into the lead. And I know if I leave a bar with only one man on it, that will be the roll the opponent will get, just when he has his entire home blocked so I can't get back in until he's halfway off the board (because, of course, I will continue to roll 1s, 2s, and 3s and never the 5s and 6s that are left with one man or even open).
So...does anyone know of a backgammon program that does *not* do this? One that is fair? All the ones I see have comments that say things like "this cheats!" and I don't want to go through this again. It's frustrating enough to make me want to fling the iPad across the room (which, of course, I do not).
thanks,
Carolyn
