Players that whine about bad dice (which they threw themselves!) after each lost match are very hard to tolerate...
Nah, the game doesn't behave as it should.

Yup, we are.

Re: Ridiculous dice

I apologize for my own rolls when it's obvious that they've ruined a close game. It's not a bad things happen to me scenario. It's BGA dice rolls make for ruined games far too often. This is a pretty common feeling among players, hence all the threads and all the believers that only look at overall ...

Re: Ridiculous dice

Every one of these threads ends up with people pointing out the stats on the dice rolls. What is left out of the frustration-discussion is the timeliness of the dice rolls in comparison to what was forced on the board. There are scenarios that will force you to leave a solo when you'd rather not. I'...

Re: BGA Rick Roll - April Fool

Considering dice rolls are the biggest hindrance to enjoying Backgammon, choosing to mock that as an April Fool's post won't gain any support. I barely renewed this year, and just tried Backgammon after not playing for a year. The same untimely, unreal doubles are still showing up way too often. Why...

Game Speeds

Now that the new update is performing much better than when it was first released, can the game speeds be put back to where they were previously? The "Fast" option allows too much time as a whole, and hands back too much time per turn. It's slower than the previous Normal speed. For those ...

- It's just plain ugly. Really does look like a computer game I'd play in the 90s. Why "fix" something that wasn't broken?
I made an edit to my post, but if you change the Theme to Classic, it really helps the visuals. The Arabian theme is just awful.

Re: Latest update

I came to the forums to find this exact post. I fully agree that it's taken all enjoyment out of the game. The only positive I guess it that I can take a break from complaining about the ridiculous dice rolls. To be a bit more constructive with the feedback: - The interface is extremely low quality....

Re: Conceding matches long before they're lost is out of hand.

At times it seems this game predetermines a winner. Perfect Blot rolls. Multiple sets of doubles. If I'm on the wrong end of that and there doesn't seem like I have a fair chance, I'll concede at the 50% mark (Arena). I don't have an issue with people conceding the other way, as I understand how wil...
