Expert players?
Um ok. Any 5 star review "expert player"... Is full of it. If you are a real player you know, no game is ever played out as the ones in this game are. The dice are indeed rigged but not as most reviews simply put it, but it seems that the AI knows who they want to win. The pip count is the deciding factor running the show. Very rarely will you beat them in a double game and it is extremely rare to win a game once doubled by the AI. You must play in a completely unorthodox way (incorrect way) to win. The AI ABSOLUTELY knows the following dice in advance, as it seems they set them selves up for it, and open up, or dont at all the wrong times (once again pip count runs the show and the AI knows whos getting the higher rolls) They always land smoothly in the time of need. High doubles for the computer is pretty much a guarantee around the 12-16th turn. LEARNING FROM THIS GAME WILL MAKE YOU A WORSE PLAYER. The "hints" are absolutely incorrect. Do not believe these reviews. It seems they factor in the odds at that exact roll and possibly the next. However not the risk/reward long haul, Which is essentially the beauty of backgammon.. The hints also seem to favor what the AI wants you to do. Given they want you to win or lose. The hints will make you a lousy player. The hints are completely off especially at the end when bringing your troops home.
